Oops...<br /><br />I've heard of people using Krazy Glue. Apparently it's better (thicker) than NuSkin, doesn't resplit when you play on it.<br /><br />Also, if you do glisses on a keyboard rather than a piano, you can use the palm side of your hand. I made the decision to go with that during the 1st day of practicing the harp part of The Fantasticks. 38 shows later, I can attest to the fact that it worked. :)Gretchen Saathoffhttp://gretchenspianos.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494169014788174276.post-85227354987740510502011-08-29T20:53:11.822-07:002011-08-29T20:53:11.822-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494169014788174276.post-86237423515626303202011-08-29T20:04:02.023-07:002011-08-29T20:04:02.023-07:00Hmmm . . .

As a professional oboist and an amateur harper, I can tell you bandages can work on "some" fingers with the oboe but not very well on harp. Playing a harp with a bandaid is like playing the oboe with Novocaine in the mouth. Nu Skin does help with cuts on harp playing. Also, I've used Anbesol (same stuff people use for sore gums) if a cut on my finger is too sore to play. Very helpful on those glissandi! Hope your cut heals quickly!Janethttp://janetlanier.comnoreply@blogger.com
