It looks like this instrument will be uncomfortble for the left hand
regardless of how you rig any combination of pinky rings, duck feet,
flippers, Klebsch straps, or Pip Sticks.

I play on a Schmid... and no I don't use a leather hand guard or anything...
Hope this helps :)

I've never understood why everyone seems to manufacture their duck's
feet and flippers to be so uncomfortable.
First off, don't make them too small. Next, find something softer than
cork to glue on as a pad. I use one of those rubbery shoe-insert pads
cut to the right shape; in fact,
Hi Everybody,
In all the discussion about the devices used to help hold the horn, nobody
has mentioned the Ergohorn support system. I saw Kerry Turner use this device
in Spain this summer and I ordered one after I got back. I am old enough to

That's another nice thing about the Paxman Loop; it's only snug when
you're hand is in playing position.

Hello,
When it was mentioned once before on this list, I decided to try dispensing
with pinky ring and flipper. I find a leather hand-guard (cut down to the
minimum necessary breadth and with a sheet of plastic underneath to protect
the metal from perspiration) to be an ideal and cheap solution.
It is a little bit more time consuming until you get used to using your right
hand. I generally kept my hand in the strap and my right arm in front of the
horn to turn pages quickly and write quickly. Granted, I'm right handed, so it
was only a matter of learning a new habit, not to mention, I ca

I'm over 70, and I've ditched the pinky hook. The Moosewood strap works very
well, and fixes the problem. A problem with it is that it's made of fine
leather, probably chrome tanned, and I'm allergic to it. I made a strap from 1
inch strap, and it works better than any commercial strap I've seen--s
Something that just occurred to me was the concept of freedom of movement
for the left hand. During a rest or a time when I don't play, I actually like
being able to just let go of my left hand quickly to do a page turn if I have
to or to just give my hand a rest.
With a strap, is it a li
The Schmid style duck's feet are by far the most uncomfortable to me. They
were quite painful to me, actually... which is one of the main reasons I got
rid of it.

One major downside to this is price. A Clebsch strap is $50 with say

A lot cheaper and IMHO, better than all of them is the Paxman
