 Re: Thumb (and thumb rest) position

The problem with Buffet clarinets in particular is they've retained the thumbrest screw holes from the days of fixed thumbrests and they just bung the adjustable ones on using the same screw holes, so that means all the adjustment is downwards when most players tend to want to position their right thumb higher up the lower joint.

It's a fairly common thing to relocate the thumbrest baseplate around 10mm higher from the existing location to make things more comfortable for players requesting that, then filling in the holes left in the lower joint - not just the two screw holes, but also the extra blind hole cut in there as a recess for the locking screw tip.
