Ron;
What I wanted to avoid was pain, misery and frustration. In 4 months of
playing as much as possible every day (frustratingly not enough), I was
hoping to at at least "condition" my LH fingertips (thick callousnesses
not really needed, I thought) , but it just wasn't happening. This
QuickCallus stuff has helped tremendously. Well, at 67, a lot of things
don't work like they did when I was young, but I thought 4 months would
have been enough to condition my fingertips to play at least 4 hours.
Apparently not.

I should think that you would want to avoid heavy calluses like those
a
guitarist might have, particularly on the right hand. I find that
the
sort of left-hand calluses I develop playing steel-stringed guitar
can
be problematic in terms of the essential light touch needed for
fingering the strings of the lute with clarity and agility. Usually,
I
have to swear off playing guitar for several days before playing a
lute
concert.

Anybody ever try this stuff? In the 4 months since I retired and
have
playing as much as possible every day, either I have not built up
callouses, or they wear off faster than I can rebuild them, and my
fingers have just been killing me. Maybe it's just oulde age that
I
can't grow callouses like when I was young, but since I discovered
this
stuff, my life has been much better.
