Re: Clarinet Supports

In addition to supports for the instrument (an oboe player in one of the ensembles I play in always used and really likes the FHRED or kickstand), if you haven't already, ask your therapist about supports and exercises for you. I have a student who plays with a thumb-stabilizing wrap on her right hand in addition to a neck strap, and a couple of others who we regularly take a few seconds to stretch and/or do circulation exercises during their lessons.

BTW - slightly off topic, but for anyone who finds this sort of thing interesting, a great introductory book on the subject is "Playing Less Hurt" by Janet Horvath.

Hope you can find something to help you better enjoy the instrument! :-)
