Just thought I'd throw out the idea that if you hold the clarinet so that your right thumb is perpendicular to the floor or even a bit pointed upward (drawing a line from heel of thumb to tip) while supporting the clarinet, reaching the keys is not only a snap but you avoid most causes for undue strain on your hand at the base of the thumb (something I ran into after about 12 years but have since eliminated this way). Initially it is more "work" to bare the weight with your musculature but it actually is much more comfortable in the long run........then you'll find you may even have to curl your pinky!
