BGC20E Clarinet Support Strap
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A neck-and-body support strap for clarinet that shifts the instrument's weight off your right thumb. For players with thumb pain during long sessions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long rehearsals or practice sessions where the right thumb aches
- Younger students still building hand strength
- Players managing thumb, wrist, or hand strain
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players with no thumb discomfort who dislike anything around the neck
- Anyone wanting a floor peg or stand-style support instead
- Marching or heavy-movement use where a strap gets in the way
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Attaches at the thumb rest
Your clarinet needs a thumb rest with a ring or post to hook onto. Most standard clarinets have one.
Detail 03
Adjustable length
Set it so the mouthpiece meets your mouth at your natural playing angle, not so you reach up or duck down.
Detail 04
Price around $34
Inexpensive fix to try before spending on an ergonomic thumb rest or a full support stand.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your clarinet's thumb rest has a ring or hook to attach to
- 02Adjust length before playing; a wrong setting shifts embouchure angle
- 03Strap only — no clarinet, thumb rest, or hardware included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on my clarinet?
It needs a thumb rest with a ring or attachment point. Check yours before ordering — some student models have a plain rest with nothing to hook onto.
02Does it fix thumb pain?
It moves weight off the thumb, which is the usual cause. If pain persists after adjusting length, get it looked at rather than pushing through.
03Can I use it on a bass clarinet?
Bass clarinets are heavier and normally use a peg or a heavier-duty harness. This is intended for clarinet weight, not bass.
04Will it change how I hold the instrument?
Yes, and that's the point. Set the length so the horn sits at your normal angle, then spend a session adjusting to the new balance.
