"I love your expression "plastic fantastic," Ron and am hereby stealing it.

Your recovery sounds frustrating, and I hope you're able to get back to comfortable playing soon! Has a neck strap been suggested to you, to take some of the weight off your right hand? I think there's other adaptive gear out there, too.

Beth"


Feel free to use the term with my blessing! <LOL>

I bought the Yamaha to use in the upcoming July 4 outdoor concerts and have been surprised at how good it sounds.

I have tried a neck strap. I use neck straps on my saxophones and they work fine - but we mainly use the right thumb to anchor our right hand and guide the horn, so it doesn't handle that much weight.

The neck straps they market for the clarinet are like Bungee cords - very springy. I found they took a little weight off my thumb, but not enough. So I tried a sax neck strap and it worked better, but the adjustment slides on all of these straps gets in the way of your LEFT thumb, so the strap can be a bother.

Since the strap didn't do enough and the pain injections wear off too fast, I decided to have the surgery. Only time will tell if it solves the problem.

Cheers.

Ron
