Sometimes hand and finger pain is caused by keys not closing completely.? Without thinking about it, we start to press harder to prevent those tiny leaks.? Find your best playing position with very light pressure on the fingers and keys.? If all of the notes aren't clear, have your flute checked.? A professional repair technician is best for finding and correcting these problems.? I just had this work done on my alto flute which I hadn't been playing regularly.? I thought the problems were just in the right-hand keys, but almost all of the pads needed a little adjustment.? It's so easy to start pressing a little harder with all fingers without really thinking about it.
