Left Handed Question!!

[Richland]

Yup. I'm left handed but play hockey and golf righty. Probably because those were the only sticks/clubs available when i was a lad. Bat righty (extension of the golf motion.) But in all else very lefty. (Right brained Scientist go figure) Was thinking about how this will effect playing the pipes? Might take them up this year.

On the pipes it will really depend. You CAN play left handed, but you'll be heavily lobbied to just play right handed. That's been the case with all the lefties I know who play.

In highland snare drumming being a lefty is a bit of an advantage, the left hand plays with a particularly unnatural motion that right handed players have a hard time with but lefties pick up easier because of it being their main hand. Right hand technique is a lot more natural in either case.
