Is being double jointed in the fingers a disadvantage when you play flute?
Double-jointedness in the fingers is not usually considered a disadvantage when playing the flute. In fact, it can even be an advantage as it allows for greater flexibility and articulation. Double-jointedness simply means that the joint in the finger can bend further than normal. This can be helpful for reaching some of the more difficult notes on the flute, and can also help to produce a more vibrant sound. However, having double-jointed fingers can require some adjustment and practice to develop proper technique to ensure comfort and control while playing the flute. With practice and proper positioning, double-jointed fingers can enhance the playing experience of the flutist.
