Re: Difficulty Standing When Playing Double Lip

Hello :-)

I understand completely what you mean. I have worked out a setup that solves this problem, as follows:

I use a claritie sling like this:

and a Kooiman thumb rest at the same time:

The claritie sling means that there is no weight at all on my right arm. I can, in fact, play the clarinet without holding it with my hands at all, as the weight is suported entirely by the sling. If you would like to see I can take a video of myself using it.

The Kooiman thumb rest makes the clarinet very stable from rotational wobble, which is also really helpful.

Does that help any?

Jen
