 Help! Need Normandy thumb rest.
Author: stebinus2

I recently padded this student clarinet for a friend and now the thumb rest has broken in two. It's a plastic horn serial no.6029H and the screw hole centers are .3" apart. Can anyone help me with a replacement thumb rest? Will pay whatevers reasonable incl shipping of course.

If not available, try another, maybe even an adjustable one. Attach with temporary or crazy glue, then drill new screw holes.

Any repair shop will have several drawers full of junk, including thumb rests.

If you can't find one with screw holes the right distance apart, glue the thumb rest to the body with epoxy. Super glue makes it impossible to adjust the position as you put the rest on, and the residue is impossible to remove.
