kooiman thumbrest AND neckstrap together?

Author: warden91

Has anyone ever used the Kooiman clarinet thumb rest (either Etude or Maestro) along with a neck strap at the same time?

I have experience of each independently. I like the thumb rest for facilitating a better position of the thumb, which normally I find to be too low. I like the neck strap for taking the weight of the instrument, which a thumb rest can't do, however well positioned things are.

Ideally I'd like to be able to use both together, but don't know whether it could work. The neck strap obviously needs to attach to something, but with a Kooiman in place of the normal thumb rest, I'm not sure whether it's possible.

Would appreciate any sharing of experiences or ideas. Thanks!
