The Thumb Saddle
Fits on the back of the conventional thumb rest and effectively increases the diameter of the clarinet, opening the hand to give more individual digital control and eliminate tension (but only if the thumb rest is in the correct position – i.e. index and thumb opposite each other. ) If you suffer from pain in the wrist or arm (possibly caused by tendonitis) this simple device could help you.
Note from Leslie Craven: If your thumb rest is not in the optimum position with index finger opposite thumb, then we strongly recommend you have a repair technician move it and then attach the Thumb Saddle.
Please state if your current thumb rest is adjustable and if it is Leslie will include some material at no extra cost to allow the saddle to be attached without a gap between the body of the clarinet and the saddle. For normal fixed thumb rests no extra packing is necessary.
