Re: The Hook, and I don't mean "Captain"

I don't agree with the notion that it limits your clarinet position. In fact, unlike most neck straps, you can move around and back and forth from the instrument which is pivoting as well as being supported from the bell.

That was an interesting question about whether an inserted object affects the intonation. In a moment of boredom and folly during a high school rehearsal a few of us took turns sticking what looked like a short wooden stake up the bells of our clarinets. It occluded all but the smallest amount of the air leaving the lower joint. What we got was a low Eb!!!! Of course with something as small as this "hook," I doubt if there'd be any negative ramifications.
