Thread Name: instruments: left v right?
Subject: RE: instruments: left v right?
So weve got the following instruments that are right or left handed because they are symetrical- jews harp, bodhran and three holed pipe-as in pipe and tabor thus showing that medieval minstrels could do their thing either way. Presumanly flageolets, kazoos, tambourines, one stringed fiddle -ouds and swanee whistles join this select company. Is now the time to design an advanced pipe of sorts that can be used ambidextrously? Why are legs so little used???
