<<<my first clarinet teacher told me that I could strengthen my fingers with
a clothespin. She taught me to hold the clothespin between my thumb and
index finger, with both fingers curved, and open and close it several times.
Then move on and do the same with the other fingers, being sure to keep them
curved.>>>

I think it's a very useful and helpful exercise, so long as the person doing
it doesn't have a propensity for osteoarthritis. In that case, I think it
could damage the knuckle joints.
