Most especially, when I practiced a lot I often got broken blood vessels in my fingers - which made the tips of them very sensitive.<br /><br />And, of course, my butt would hurt from sitting on a hard wooden piano bench. I often utilized pillows and cushions.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-55475560932712331352017-03-17T13:44:28.779-05:002017-03-17T13:44:28.779-05:00Thanks, Geo.
