Re: Bass Clarinet Technique; Is 'Slightly Lifting Off' A Thing? ...

The only time my left thumb has any trouble is when the register key is adjusted to press down too low towards the body for my liking. Other than that, it's not a problem for me, but I am a clarinetist first and sax player second, so keeping the LH thumb hole covered is pretty automatic for me.

I've always had a leather pad with a little resonator there, though, never a cork pad, so I can't really say if it would be different at all. I can't imagine a squishy pad being the answer, but then I look at my bass clarinet and realize that most people probably wouldn't like their horns set up like mine, either, so...if it works?
