Kooiman Thmbrest and Wrist pain

Author: Sylvain

Hi all,

I am starting to feel some pain in my right hand.
Basically my pinky becomes very sour/tense after I have been playing for a while.

I managed to lessen the thumb/wrist pain by sticking the horn between my knees, the pinky is still bothering me.

I suspect my thumb is too low (level of the middle finger).

Do you think moving the the thumbrest higher will help or shall I get one of those fancy (but very expensive) Kooiman thumbrest?

Any of you has tried the "etude" model?

Thanks,
-Sylvain
