 Re: Left Hand Pinkie Problems

Go to a physical/occupational therapist who works with wind instrument players. She/he will spot the problem immediately and give you exercises to deal with it.

The solution may involve changing the angle of your left wrist so that your little finger falls more naturally on its keys. This is easy to do once, but difficult to do consistently, because it involves changing a strong habit. Be prepared to have things feel unnatural for a while.

As Norman says, have the springs set as light as possible for reliable action.
