    Hello Josh,
    Thanks for all your video's! Love watching them.
    Just a thought as I was watching your video: What might also help is to round off the edge of the nail with a nail file so it's not so sharp.

    Thank you for the advice. I'm dealing with this issue right now, because i've been on a harp hiatus for a long while, and have no callouses anymore. Are you calling that tape "climbing tape"? Never heard of it before. I've been using masking tape over the end of my thumb, but it's not very satisfactory, as you can imagine! 🎶😳🎵🎶. BTW, i'm extremely jealous of your long, thin fingers!!! 🤩

      Climbing tape is tape used by climbers to protect their fingers, and it's perfect because it's cloth and non stretchy. Here's an example www.mec.ca/en/product/5007-283/climbing-tape

    Doesn’t hurt? Oooutch? 😮 I saw it on one of your videos recently and was wondering if you injured your nail. Now that mystery is solved. Brilliant idea though! Not sure if I would be brave enough to try…
