#971341 - 04/22/07 09:23 PM Flexibility/strength of 4th finger
Mountain Ash Full Member Registered: 09/21/06 Posts: 423 Loc: Melbourne, Australia	I noticed recently that when I try to lift my 4th finger on my right hand, it can only raise up about 2/3 as far as it can on my left hand. Now either I have a poorly designed right hand for playing piano, or my left hand is AWESOME! At this point I've decided it's probably a combination of the two. Has anyone else noticed this in their own playing? _________________________ I'm reading this book.

bruceee Full Member Registered: 02/04/05 Posts: 317 Loc: Wellington, New Zealand	I'm right handed and can lift my left 4th finger slightly higher than the right. I estimate right at about 7/8ths of the left -- I didn't check with a ruler $\:\)$

I always thought it's because I'm right handed and my left hand were less tense since it is not used that much in everyday business. _________________________ "The creative process is nothing but a series of crises."
