Research conclusion: garden clippers go way more easily through the tip of your left ring finger than they do through rose canes.
On a related note, got less cello practice in this weekend than I’d planned for. So I fired up the theremin instead, as my wife was out of town. Turns out when I run it through my distortion pedal, I get Russian short wave radio. Even when the theremin is turned off. The pedal itself, with all the other cords, cables and wiring, appears to suffice.
Radio? Cool! Clippers? Not so cool!
A tiny precision screwdriver goes nicely through an index finger nail and um the rest of the finger, too.
thx 4 the tip, flerdle. will give htat a try.
