JazzLab Clarinet (Or Oboe) Holder ...

Last night a clarinet player showed me the JazzLab clarinet holder she recently bought because of arthritis in her wrists causing her pain whilst playing.

They're very easy to use, offer excellent playing posture and take all the weight off both hands, wrists, arms and shoulder joints whilst playing. You simply place the thumbrest inside the loop on the end of it and away you go. No alterations or adaptations done to the instruments are necessary.

I've only used their sax sling for bass sax for marching as that distributes the weight on your shoulders instead of on the back of your neck, so it's good to see they've done more research and development for straight instruments like oboes, clarinets and soprano saxes where weight can be a problem and slings/neck straps don't do much for weight nor posture.
