Hello!! I'm a clarinetist from Denmark, and I have been playing for some years. Now I have suddenly dicovered that my fingers are all wrong!! It is like the clarinet is too heavy and all of my fingers are pointing downwards, I also have one of those ski jump fingers (I don't know if you call it that by you..) Does anyone know these problems? And if so what can I do?

Further proof that the "No Child Left Behind" policy is simply not inclusive enough.

I suggest going to a crowded area (where there are many who can help) and then attempting to lift your fingers to their proper upright position. Results come more quickly if you start with the middle one.

We do indeed call it that. Two questions:
1) Do you take checks?
2) Can it handle snowmobiles?

That's your solution to everything.

Your answer somehow provokes me...
Maybe I sound like a whipering person, and indeed I am (my fingers hurt!!), but I thought maybe someone had a tip....or had tried the same thing, and maybe had had the problem for a long time...
Could you please explain what you mean by saying:
Further proof that the "No Child Left Behind" policy is simply not inclusive enough.

I think a successful explanation would require far too many hours of shock therapy to be worth it.

Or perhaps you could save your "witty" comments for someone that understands them.

It was a "joke" which any moron (well, at least *most* morons) would realize that a person from Denmark wouldn't understand.
