Re: Thumb rest

Rather a stop gap measure, but if you have the same length of back as me then you might find that by sitting cross legged on the floor and sitting up really straight, you can rest the edge of the bell on the floor and thus remove some of the weight. It would let you practice while you were trying to find a better thumb rest.

Or, more extreme, you could try renting a lyons C clarinet for a few months while you track down the perfect thumb rest. At least you could still play a bit!

Best of luck.
