Don't feel bad. I never got a choice for a left handed piano or left handed trombone either.

...nor did I "tell [him] to play righthanded."

This was placed right after your post and no direct response.

I like you Chuck.

Psycho, I had lot of troubles as a child and while growing up being a right hand trained lefty. The one and only good thing was that I started to play right handed and that I can easily get a bass I like - if I got the money.

Left handed bassists have to suffer with very limited choices but I have to say, Big Poppa treats us pretty damn good. I have an SR4, SR5 and a Bongo5 all in the exact colors I wanted with the features I wanted. Try and do that with any other major manufacturer and you will be sorely disappointed.

Now to totally hijack this thread

That article is interesting... I'm a right trained lefty. I did poorly in school and had a terrible adolescence. Who knows what they would diagnosed me with today. (Luckily 4 years in the Army straightened my butt out and I have a family and a day time job that allows me the luxury of being a happy EBMM owner.;) )

I have a 5 1/2 year old daughter who is a lefty (and will stay that way!). An Interesting thing I've noticed is, in a lot of situations I know exactly what my daughter is feeling an what her train of thought is. My wife, who is a righty, does not get my daughters reasoning.

I think there may be something different about the way lefties think.

I think instructors who strongly encourage lefty kids to play righty are doing their students are horrible disservice. Kids should play in a way that feels most natural.

All because of the availabilty of instruments. Funny how this is mentioned here, on an EBMM forum, a maker who offers lots of lefty instruments.

I have 9 basses and 4 guitars. Don't seem to have a problem finding lefties. :D
