 Re: Thumb position

I have looked back at my hand position on the clarinet and I think I have worked out what needs to be done to make it workable.

I can put my thumb on the thumb key at an angle, so it is not completely vertical (photo attached). If I do that, and have some modifications made, I think it would work.

I think it the modifications that it needs are:

1) Addition of the right-hand-side extension on the register key that Paul suggested.
2) The register key also needs to be squashed flatter so that I don't need to reflex my thumb joint so hard to avoid to avoid pressing the key.

I phoned the shop and they said they can do that. Yay!

I'm going to keep playing and thinking about it a bit more to check that it seems right.
