Hello everybody,
I am looking for some help.
One of my best clarinet and tenor sax students recently lost his left index finger in an accident. Though he and his family have already embraced the fact that he is not likely to be able to play anymore, I am still holding out hope that there may be a way to modify the key system on the upper joint of his clarinet and/or the left-hand keys of his saxophone in such a way that he can still play even with only his thumb and three fingers.
Has anybody ever encountered such a scenario, or does anybody have contact information to a wiz repairman who would be willing to attempt such a thing? It seems as though if we can send a man to the moon, somebody out there might have an idea for this!
In the meantime, he is playing percussion and being a real trooper about it. I am just hopeful we can get him back in the wind-playing part of the band someday.
Thanks so much for your consideration.
Sue
