Re: Kooiman Etude 3 - adjustment tips?

Thanks for the additional comment. Having installed it and used the Etude 3 for a few days, it takes some adjustment but not too much.

One thing's for sure ... there are ways of grasping the clarinet (too high, too low, too far along the thumb, not far enough) that can become quite uncomfortable. Finding the right zone takes some effort, trial, and error.

There still seem to be certain grips that are best for particular passages of fingerings, and others that best suit others. Perhaps there's no thumb rest design that will ever overcome that challenge.
