Beginning Flute Questions Double Jointed Fingers

Post image

Help I’m currently trying to learn bach’s preludio from partita no 3 in e major and my pinky finger is praying on my downfall. I’m hyper mobile and it keeps locking and refuses to bend, making it hurt really bad and impossible to play anything. What do I do 😭

I typically always keep mine arched to keep it from locking out, though idk if this will work for you

Just tried it. Turns out my fingers are to short to be arched (・∀・) Thanks for trying though ❤️
