Thumb injury - Has this happened to you?

[Michelle Smith]

Hi all.  I just wanted to send out a quick thanks to everyone for your
e-mails and phone call about my thumb issue.  It's still "asleep" so I guess
I'm in for a lengthy recovery.   

 

To answer some of your questions, I do use a ball end hammer.  I tune
uprights with my left and grands with my right.  (I don't know why.  It just
feels right.)  I have been known to do upright pitch raises with my right
hand to give the left a rest so this is an option for the future.  I'm also
hoping to check out an impact hammer in Kansas City.  

 

Have a great weekend,

Michelle Smith

Michelle:

 

Several years ago there was a piano technician subscribed to this list who
was also an M.D..  He's no longer with us.  You need to see a real Doctor.
While several might have speculation about the problem, we can't even
determine the real cause of false beats to say nothing of speculating about
neurology.  Don't wait, call a Doctor today!
