Are you Left or Right Handed

Post by John S »

Over the years I'm shore I've met more than the average (10-20%) number of lefthanded musicians, which are you?

Dexter.
Yet for flute and whistle, as with most musical instruments, I am
ambisinistrous. Aren't we all?

Right-handed but comfortble doing certain things, like batting at cricket, left-handed as well as right handed. My left arm is not very powerful so whenever arm power matters, I'm definitely right-handed.

I'm left-handed, but I do several things right-handed, like cutting with scissors and playing whistle. I use both hands when I play the piano and drive a car. (Note: I don't do both of these at the time. I don't need a keyboard run through my medulla oblongata.)

I'm ambidextrous in everything except the use of my left hand.

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.
