Thread Name: Tech: Info on left Handed Accordion
Subject: RE: Tech: Info on left Handed Accordion
I play piano box upside down, melody with the left always seems more logical, after all the high notes are at the top!
I have seen an Italian instrument where the bass buttons were all reversed (slanting the other way and order of keys reversed) for the right hand of a left handed player, but I cannot understand why this would be necessary. It's just as easy to operate the bass buttons the way they are.
I am always careful not to buy instruments where the strap bracket on the bottom is half way up the back of the instrument, that tends to result in a Chad-like "wot no musician" effect when turned upside-down.
