 Re: Thumb Arthritis

It occurs to me to add that thumb rests can always be relocated--one thing I plan to do when the Fox strap hook arrives is visit my tech, remove the thumb rest entirely, support the horn with the bell on my knee, and see where exactly my thumb prefers to be with my fingers on the ring keys, then put the thumb rest THERE.

A lot of clarinets have the thumb rests far too low, so getting an adjustable thumb rest or relocating a fixed one is entirely do-able, if it results in better right hand comfort.
