I know there are other posts about people with small hands choosing an instrument, but I figured I'd make another post that is perhaps a bit more personalized to my musical interests and specific "issue".
I don't have small hands, but my pinkies are very strange. They're a good bit shorter than the rest of my fingers, and they're also crooked, double jointed, and "weak" if that makes sense.
They're not entirely useless, but I'd be curious to hear your recommendations to a person who theoretically had no fourth fingers.
I would certainly consider percussion, but would also like to know if there are any brass / wind or bowed instruments that could be played effectively without much pinky strength. I enjoy piano but feel that my reach would be limited, and I am not interested in guitar / electric bass / ukulele.
I am a fan of many music genres but I enjoy jazz, classical, and rock.
Thanks for the help!
