How To Replace a Missing Clarinet Thumb Rest

[@Kriswixx]

Thanks! Helped me understand. I recently figured out the one on my wall is missing a part, so I got a new mouthpiece and reed and can make sounds, but figured the thumb fest is missing so I need to craft something to go into the hole, I never thought I could replace the whole deal. Nice. Thanks.

Thank you! The info on the tap is exactly what I needed.

Hi, I also want to buy myself, please tell me which one is more convenient and good among these models? Are these accessories worth so much money? Thanks

[@toddwarren3452]

What would you recommend for using soft pliers on a clarinet for flexing or regulation? Currently I am using teflon tape on the teeth of a pair of pliers but it doesn't work as well as I would hope.

What works best is a pliers with smooth jaws. You can get them from Allied or Ferree's. I do not have the catalogs with me right now, but I will try to get the names and part numbers for you soon.

hey, you mentioned in an earlier video that while in school you bought and sold instruments. I was wondering if you could tell me about how that worked and about how fixing them up came into it. thanks

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

I always looked in the newspaper, stopped by music stores, and let people know I was looking for instruments. When ever I found an instrument for a good price, I bought it and then re-sold it. I lost a few dollars sometimes, but I learned as I went along. After a while, I learned that I could make more money if I knew how to repair them. That is when I decided to go to college to learn how to fix them.

@@TheBrassandWoodwindShop Awesome, thanks for the reply. Where did you sell them?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

I sold them mostly with adds in the newspaper. I also sold a lot of instruments to people who knew me. I had a lot of musician friends and many people knew me as the guy who had a lot of instruments.

Hi.. what catalogue is that ure reading from?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

They are from Allied Supply and Ferree's Tools. Here is a link to one of my videos. It has more about the catalogues and the suppliers that they came from. "How Do I Find Band Instrument Repair Tools and Supplies?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKjUdJmYjZmJhLs
