Last night I had a customer call and order a left handed banjo. When it came time to total up the charges she was rather shocked when I made no additional charge for the left handed neck. I was in turn taken by surprise when she said that most custom builders charge up to 10% for left handed instruments!!I have to say, I am not going to change my policy, but is this a comon practice and if so ...why? It seems unfair to me to charge a customer for being left handed. I have built enough instruments (and several lefties) to know that there is not additional time involved, just a bit more planning to make sure you don't screw up. So, lefties, is this what you have to put up with in instruments too? Are ther other builders who do not make this charge? Does it matter to you when you buy an instrument OR do you go for the instrument you like the most and pay what you must? Thanks for you input.
