  • Patent number: 4841829
    Abstract: A device worn on a musician's wrist used in combination with a fastening means on the lower end of a clarinet for supporting the weight of the clarinet and thus relieving the strain on the musician's thumb and hand muscles. The device is to be worn about the wrist and thumb and attached to an instrument comprising an elongate flexible means having an attachment means at one end and a wrist band at the opposite end. There is a means to secure the flexible means to a lower end of the instrument. The device includes a wrist band that is circumferentially disposed about a wrist joint over the area of the wrist's transverse carpal bones and ligaments. The wrist band has an attached strap which extends over the webbed portion of the space between the thumb and the index finger which courses downward upon leaving the webbed area, finally attaching to a clarinet lift point on the bell end of the clarinet.
