Re: Very stuffy G/D - the rest fine

Is there a change that you're not covering the hole completely with your right ring finger? If you have small fingers, that could be a possibility. When I was first starting out 20+ years ago, my finger was too small to cover that tone hole (and my pinkies couldn't reach the pinky keys). My fingers are long and thin, so even now I have to be mindful enough to make sure the holes are completely covered when I press the rings down. I think that's why my finger position is a little flatter than my teacher would like, but I don't think I could cover RH3 if my fingers were more rounded.
