Re: Thumb hole dripping water

During my first year of play I suffered horrible pain in my swollen thumb from raised thumb hole tubes.I finally resolved that by fabricating a cork button, shaped like a bolt, that covered the tube and filled the hole. Lately my thumb has started to get sore again from an increase of play on newly acquired clarinets. I may now have to fabricate more insert-buttons until I get over it. A cork button would also prevent moisture from dripping. I envy the thought of owning clarinets that do not possess those torturous tubes. I have often been tempted to remove or grind them down to a more tolerable profile.

An Improv player of blown out and or priviously broken clarinets that is always looking for more projects to tamper with.
