Hanneke Aug 2023 11:03pm, 9 Aug 2023 108,396 posts	0 Hanneke I used to be fairly ambidextrous after spending a few months unable to use my right hand. One of my party pieces was playing table tennis and swapping the bat between hands depending on there the ball went.
DoricQuine Aug 2023 11:15pm, 9 Aug 2023 9,181 posts	0 DoricQuine I remember getting my knuckles rapped for writing with my left hand at school. I do write with my right still but am pretty ambidextrous and favour my left hand for odd things like dealing cards and playing guitar. I'm left foot dominant too.
Steve NordRunner Aug 2023 11:22pm, 9 Aug 2023 3,238 posts	0 Steve NordRunner Are there left handed pianos? (off to search) There are some classical compositions for one hand, but they still go up from left to right. Left-handed transverse flutes can be got.
57.5 Degrees of Pain Aug 2023 12:31am, 10 Aug 2023 13,538 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain I'm very right dominant which helped a lot in playing hockey and being a dentist. There is more dental equipment that can be switched now, but some lefties just learn to work turned around. Teaching dentistry to lefties can be tricky too, but beating it out of them seems to be frowned upon these days.

Eynsham Red Aug 2023 7:56am, 10 Aug 2023 9,859 posts	0 Eynsham Red The guitar has always puzzled me as I reckon the fretting is the hard part, but righties do it with the left hand, and lefties vv. Are there left handed pianos? (off to search) My right handed daughter taught herself to play (a right handed) guitar left handed as she found it to be the natural thing for her.
