[CAUT] Tuning with right hand vs. Left

[Willem Blees]

Alan, 



I only did it once. I've never had a reason to do it more often. The other problem I had was playing the intervals. I'm not a piano player, so?I had to really concentrate on how to play the?progressive thirds, sixths, etc,. ?

Wim,

Just out of curiosity, how many times did you try tuning lefty?? I ask because after the first time I tried it (recently), I was wiped out.? I'm starting to get used to it now (upright pitch raises with an impact hammer is a good place to start).

Once I had a very bad sore right shoulder, and I tried to tune an upright left handed. I was able to get through it, but my left shoulder got so tired, I couldn't concentrate on the tuning.

There?are pros and cons for tuning uprights and grand left handed. Do what ever works for you. It seems like you're?ambidextrous. That's a big plus in our industry. Keep it up. ?
