Thread Name: Left Handed violin
Subject: RE: Tech: Left Handed violin
I reversed the strings and played a bit of lefty fiddle. The biggest problem was that the tuning pegs interfered with the knuckles of my right hand. You would have to reverse the pegs which would involve plugging and and redrilling to accomodate the bevel, etc. Best to have a fiddle made from scratch for a lefty.
