Introduction Trying to re introduce myself.

[Out in the sticks]

Been a long time since I was a member on the forum. I’ve probably not picked a sax up to play in ten years. Still love them look after mine like new baby. Unfortunately developed carpal tunnel both ands which stopped me playing. Had the op it’s bit better but I need to try and get myself back to where I was (rubbish) but still enjoyed still very little feeling in couple of fingers each hand, just a sort of constant pins and needles. But I need to try again. Other than that I have some very expensive ornaments.

Sorry to hear about the carpal tunnel, welcome back to the café and to sax

You even may find it is a kind of physiotherapy operating the keys ? I like to look on the bright side if poss

Sorry to hear of the carpal tunnel probs, @O . Yes, as others suggest, perhaps a return to the sax may help improve and restore your hand dexterity?

I've got a little arthritis in the left wrist, but reducing the weights with more reps at the gym seems to help along with the community band practises. Trying to return to a regular workout regimen.

Good to have you back. Look forward to hearing more from you. Hang in there!

Hi, welcome back. Hope you get some relief for the carpal tunnel issues.

Thanks I’ve had years of physio. Tried quite a few times but can’t feel with pinky and ring fingers both hands.

Thanks I hope I can find away around it.

A bit of a weird suggestion but if those fingers have little feeling what about cutting a couple of small discs of sandpaper or something rough and gluing them to the 'pearls' of the keys covered by the numb fingers, perhaps it would register some feeling and help you place them ?
Just a thought that occurred to me
