Re: Does the kooiman etude affect tone?

I used it for a bit and was able to use the existing screw holes. I can't imagine that adding two tiny screws, if you must, would in any way change the sound.

While I found it very helpful in relieving thumb pressure, it ultimately didn't work for me because I couldn't adequately control rotation around the clarinet's long axis. Really bad, for me, when trilling with my pinkies.

The regular thumb rest gives me more control. I use a neck strap now; while actually playing my thumb carries the weight but during all those moments when I'm not playing the neck strap has the burden.. Your mileage may vary.
