about 10 or 12 years ago when I was playing more and playing higher parts I went through what you are experiencing. please listen to rowuk he knows what he is talking about. a good instructor helped me, he told me to stop using the pinky hook [octave key] and keep ice water with me along at the job. this worked for me but it was only a band-aid not a fix. I am a pressure player and to be honest I am to lazy to change at 58. as I said before - LISTEN TO ROWUK. Dave
