the reason I asked is because I have fibromyalgia. recently ive been having a lot of wrist and thumb pain and when asked to hold my arms above my head for 10 seconds, i was unable to do it. i was told this was my problem.that i didnt have enough strength which is why i am getting the thumb and wrist pain.

it never occurred to me that i needed to be strong to play the clarinet. but i just got my neckstrap to help hold the clarinet and found i could play better. i have now started a range of motion/strengthening program. and just wondered what others thought about all this since it never occurred to me.

i think someone with normal physical strength is ok. but someone in a weakend condition should work on staying strong or they could really suffer bothe physically and musically.
