Subject: RE: left -handed fiddle pupil
Hi

Yes I do teach Liz daughter who is very left handed like her mother. If you or Greg Stephens PM's me I will give you my phone number or email addy and I will discuss the techniques I use. Some left handed people pick it up easily other have difficulties.

I have played a fiddled strung backwards and they do work BUT this is not a long term solution as it will damage the fiddle and the player would run into problems if wanting to play in a youth orchestra or quartet etc.
