Sorry if this has been posted already as a response, but I too have short fingers and my pinky's lock up all the time - even typing here - esp the right one. After an absence of playing for several years and getting back into it I no longer curve my pinky to hit the bottom keys. I just push with the joint of my finger. I have actually been able to play passages quicker this way. Is there anything written in stone that says we must curve our fingers?
