my pinky is kinda locking when i do the excecise is that normal?

[RedDesertViolin]

@muttohgardner Actually, no, it is not normal. It sounds like you might be double-jointed, or that you have weak joints. I recommend that you do my clothes pin exercise for double joints (even if you aren't double jointed) It has helped dozens of people! (and you get results fast) That video is also on my channel....it's called, "Clothespin Exercise for Double Jointed Violinists".....check it out!

Reassuring to know that bow-legged pinkies are common. Thank you for the practice tips.
