THE STRAP--
--I've never had any problems using it at rehearsals, which are 2+ hours and a lot of playing. Yet never using it practicing my half hours or at concerts. I'm saying it didn't become something I ever depended on, just a luxury.
--It's never bothered my left thumb--maybe a specific type/width/etc. of a strap would do this? I'm not sure how, but OK.
--I will concede it is possible using a strap could mask or cause other problems, particularly in a young student.
--My first use of a strap came after about 40 years of playing.
