Ditto on the cracks; no ridges however.
But you ought to see the bony bumps on my first thumb joints that have evolved over 35 years of this nonsense (RH much worse than left). My right thumb almost looks crooked!

i dont play simple system (yet) but i do have thumb problems. it took me a couple years to figure out why. a knuckle in my right thumb cracks and several times a year it hurts for days on end. its always tighter, and doesnt have the same mobility as my left thumb. i adjusted my finger position, so it hasnt acted up in a long time, but the damage is done.

I have had both ridges and pits in my thumbnails before--from psoriasis, though, not from flute playing.
In fact, I have always thought that flute playing and typing are the reasons my hands took little permanent damage from the arthritis until they finally got it to quieten down into remission using low doses of a chemo drug called methotrexate.
Just as an aside, the way I hold my flutes, the flute actually presses against the end of the thumb more than the pad. But it doesn't seem to matter one way or the other as far as nail ridges are concerned.

No, it isn't twice as wide, sorry for the double post.
