I find that the quality of my nails has changed as I’ve aged (72 yo) and it is often difficult for me to make a good sound. That is one of the reasons I’ve started composing. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good nail conditioner?
As a ⁷7 year old player I can sympathsise with you as my nails are ridged and briittle. I have found a great improvement by using vitamin e oil, massaged into the nails daily has improved my quite dramatically. Most pharmacies sell it, the one I use is Sally Hanson vitamin e nail and cuticle oil. Hope this helps.
