It's a ****** painful thing, I promise you that. One of the worst pains in my life. My pinky finger on my left hand was cut/crushed off from the bottom of the finger nail up when I was a teenager. The tip of my finger is as hard as a rock under the skin there now. I guess there's no tissue padding, just bone.



Does that mangled left pinky affect your piano playing when you doing octaves for example?



Wow, you guys got busy on this thread this evening. Sorry, I missed out on the fun. Anyway to answer your question. Nope, not one bit. In fact, the reason I was out earlier this evening is I had a practice session with two other pianists(3 with me), 2 accoustics, 1 percussionist, and a fine lady singer for a nicely paid gig coming up here in a couple days. All the digits work fine, my pinky is just a little shorter than it should be.

So whats this story I hear about you and a planer? You got a short digit too?
