The ‘Ergo Woodwind Comfortplayer’(EWC) is the culmination of three years of personal research and 20 years of experience as a performing clarinettist and music instructor.
One of the primary problems that arises when playing the clarinet is the ability to keep the instrument in a stable position while playing. The clarinet is one of the few instruments – along with the oboe – that rests its full weight on top of the player’s right thumb. This support point, together with the mouth position must keep the whole instrument in balance.
