Left handed players

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

At the perpetuating the off-topic subject...

If you buy a road atlas, the first page is invariably Cornwall, and as you turn the pages, you progress westwards and northwards until you reach Northern Scotland.

On the other hand, when you buy a street atlas, it is likely that it will begin in the north-west and end in the south-east.

How many times can one be hung by their own petard?

Would you like me to move it to the maps thread? (There is one.)

That's entirely a matter for you. I'm just thinking that you might be a little more consistent in your privileged position, Mr proctor.

...and isn't it invariably the case that your destination is hidden in the spine?

Not sure if this is a non-sequitur or a sequitur...but you can buy a one-handed recorder.

I gather Yamaha also make one.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Yes. I've taught this variant of the recorder, but it was in the 1980s.

[Observation Postr]

If a left-handed colleague wagers that he can do anything with his left hand that you can do with your right hand:

a) Accept the bet
b) Pass him a pair of nail scissors
c) Invite him to trim the finger nails on his left hand.

That'll larn 'im

I didn't know about that, what an excellent idea. Not just for players with a disability but also because someone with two functioning hands could play two of them at once! which I find a highly interesting prospect. (goes back to website to check on prices)

I know that of course - the ancient Greeks for example. And playing two ordinary recorders together in the manner of MrGG's link is something I've worked with too. But two instruments each of which has the entire range of a recorder would be unique to the kind of keyed system used in the aforementioned one-handed recorders, and more similar to François Louis' "aulochrome" which is a double-barrelled soprano saxophone. Naturally I'm not particularly concerned to be the "first" to do something though, that's an easy enough goal to achieve, what's interesting is when you can hear a musical necessity behind something.
