I'd like to compile a list of resources here of techniques for managing hand pain and maintaining all those other important aspects for hands, like to dexterity and strength and mobility and flexibility and stuff. I lost my favorite hand yoga program on YouTube, so I'm looking for alternatives. If anybody has anything I would love to see it. Bonus points if it is specific to musicians, even more for woodwind instrumentalists.

How do others take care of the calluses on their hands from the knurling? I cut off excess callus and then sand down the edges but my wife complains that they are always rough now. Any tips?

My index fingers both curve towards my other fingers quite sharply. If I put them side to side, there is almost an inch gap between them at the tips. Does anyone else have this? Just a weird thing I felt like bringing up.
