Maybe the pinky keys could be rerouted to being thumb keys? What fingers does she have?

If another instrument isn't out of the question, Violin would be a great choice. A modified bow grip might be needed depending on which finger is missing (usually the pinky sits on top of the bow, allowing it to counterbalance the thumb's push...most of the bow is held between the pinky and the thumb, with the other fingers being used to distribute weight into the strings). A creative teacher would be able to figure this out.

We also have a trombonist at our school that has one faulty hand (not sure if that's a good way to describe it). But has to play the trombone with his other hand. It seems to be working for him. I share an office with the low brass instructor (amongst others) and was doing paper work during one of their lessons, and it didn't affect his playing.
