GUEST,van lingle Mandolin Pain (15) Help: Mandolin Pain 18 May 05


Not to be confused with the Bruce Hornsby song. When I play my Octave Mandolin I experience a lot of pain in the first joint (the one closest to the palm ) on my left hand pinky. I've considerably lightened up the action on the instrument but when I make those long stretches and try to depress the string I really feel it. I'd really appreciate some advice, experience, stretching exercises, websites, whatever.
Thanks, vl
