Re: Ton Kooiman: Etude 3 and Maestro

There are 3 rows of holes on the mounting plate. Did you use the bottom row to place your screws into the same hole on the clarinet? Drilling in in a higher hole on your clarinet is the easiest way to go. You can also just move the movable rest up a little above the mounting plate. This works too. I have both Etude 2 and Maestro. I also have a thumbrest from Finland which will allow you to move the thumb around to get to the trill keys. This unfortunately is more expensive than the Maestro. If you use the Maestro, the same principle applies of just sliding it up and down at will. When adjusting the Maestro, both parts of the thumbrest must be level or you will put undue strain on your thumb. Your thumb must be horizontal.
