Likely nothing - you don't get pain and suffering for workers comp, and it would depend on how much it impairs your future ability to work. If you're not a musician, You can likely function just as well without it. Even though I'm sure you miss it a lot.

Whether you would get anything from anybody beyond whatever it takes to stop the bleeding, depends upon whose fault it is. If there were safety violations, you might have a case. If it was your own fault, maybe nothing. You have not provided any details for anyone to guess. And what happened to the fingertip, that it could not be sewn back on.
