Well if you play stringed instruments you are bound to get those... but all my years of playing my violin, I've never calloused any of my fingers. Nor have my mom, who taught me the violin basics, nor any other violinist I know.
Oh and that candlething ploy, even if your hand is nice and soft and aristocratic, if you do it really fast, it won't hurt.
