I have a problem pinky. Because of a contracture, I cannot lift my pinky high enough to get on top of the stick without forcing all other fingers to follow suit. That's not a good thing in my case. So, I have no choice but to let my pinky wrap downward as slightly as I comfortably can.
This contracture can only be reversed through microsurgery that's not bad enough to warrant surgery (according to my surgeon).
So, what else can I do with my frustrating pinky, instead?
I refuse to give up playing my viola. I've been playing since the age of 8. Now I'm 69 and play in 2 orchestras. They need me and I need music in my life.
