> Believe it or not, yes. There was an article in Pianist magazine a while back. A left-handed pianist had a piano build with the short strings to the left and the long strings to the right. It was a perfect mirror image of a standard piano. He built it because with all those melodies in the right hand, piano music favors right-handed players. He wanted to level the playing field (so to speak). It's a fascinating article, with a photo of the piano. I'll see if I can find it. ~Adrienne in Kentucky, USA _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
