I find slings awkward to use (Claricord, BG etc.), and playing full Boehms (as well as oboe/cor and straight soprano sax) there's more strain on the right thumb. I'm used to playing saxes in which the weight is mostly taken on the sling, only when standing the right thumb has to work.

But at the moment I'm managing ok on clarinet, the squishy thumbrest cushion does help to stop the thumbrest digging in.

There are various supports and telescopic rests that attach to the clarinet and rest on the chair top or abdomen as well.

Do you play mostly standing or sitting?
