While practicing today, I discovered that my "problem" may be more involved than originally stated. The arthritic finger certainly doesn't help but the position of my left hand may be slightly off-standard as well. I can see in a mirror that it is pointed slightly down toward the finger tips, which might be partly to blame. When my fingers come in closer to the horizontal, I have more clearance between my index finger and the throat A-key and it also seems to better align my middle and ring finger tips with the two lower tone holes. What IS the generally accepted hand position? I may have to relearn a few things!
(My main instrument is alto sax where incorrect hand positions may be more forgiving.)
