She plays violin and piano daily so I'm not convinced it's all a strength issue but maybe more a comfort thing.

Violinists tend not to develop calluses so maybe that's it.

Is she playing it like a violin? (I'm assuming you play that with the tips of your fingers...like a guitar.). Bass is more with the pads of your fingers.

How do I get the drummer to stop drumming when I'm bent over adjusting the amp and my head is right next to the drum!
