A friend recommended the Ridenour thumb saddle. Linda: Stephen Fox has done some great work making accessories for wind players with your type of limitations. See if there is anything here that interests you. http://www.sfoxclarinets.com/Accessories.html#clar%20acc I use his Neckstrap extension rod (ring mount) with an elastic neck strap. This may not be right for you, but its appeal to me (the elastic neck strap at least) lies in it allowing the clarinet to move in all directions, including further away than what a conventional adjustable neck strap would allow, essentially making the clarinet feel lighter, but nothing else as it regards being restricted. Mr. Fox's clarinet support brace may be more to your liking. Post Edited (2021-08-20 23:48)
