I had to smile at this Nick.  Lumps are normal for musicians!  My father was
a
violinist and had a lump on his neck from holding the violin, my mother had
funny-shaped fingers through playing the piano, my brother has a hard patch
with a groove on each finger on his left hand from the guitar and I have a
lump on my right thumb from the clarinet.  What a strange family!  LOL

Sorry, no suggestions apart from try wearing a glove, or maybe take up the
euphonium!

Peter
