Thanks for your detailed video!! For many left-handers it feels better and just natural to create their sound with their strong hand. It's easier and much more direct to put your deeply felt expression into the sound, when having the bow in your dominant hand. The prejudice that playing left-handed is disturbing in the orchestra is wrong and absolutely outdated. Today there are lefty string players in professional like Bad Reichenhall Philharmonic (Germany), Opera Ballet Vlaanderen (Belgium), Les Siècles (France), Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional (Mexico), Niagara Symphony Orchestra (Canada), Orquesta Sinfónica de Salta (Argentina), who don't have any problems with their lefty playing there. Let's modernize our attitude to this in order to give everyone the opportunity to express themselves musically according to their disposition. The availability of high-quality left-handed instruments will naturally increase with demand.
Thank you for your heart-warming comment. As an adult violin player that has spent decades of her life using their left hand running all sorts of errands, demanding it to accustom to right-handed style of playing is really difficult. I also don't think many people understand the concept of ambidextrous and mixed-handedness. Actually some of these people may call themselves left-handed while in comparison to a left-handed person they may adjust must easier to a right-handed style.
@@bellat4076 Thank you very much for your kind comment. Yes, observation shows that handedness is more of a spectrum and varies greatly from person to person. Some people who prefer their left hand get on well with the conventional right-handed instrument. Others have great difficulty not being allowed to handle the bow with their dominant left hand. Those (and anyone who feels more comfortable with it) should be given the opportunity to learn their instrument left-handed. Examples in orchestras around the world show that there is absolutely no valid argument against it. Many interviews with professional left-handed string players can be found on the website 'Linksgespielt'.
Do you also play left-handed?
@@bellat4076 That's right. It varies greatly how well left-handed people get on with right-handed instruments. For some it works reasonably well, while for others it is really uncomfortable and very frustrating. There is absolutely NO valid reason why these people should not play left-handed. Anyone who says you can't play left-handed in an orchestra hasn't tried it. Enjoyment and well-being must be at the forefront of music-making.
As a lefty in a right handed world.
....I'm learning from a great teacher who has agreed to not be prejudiced and finds it interesting that I "feel" playing left handed is not that big of a deal. I really don't care what people think, I'm left handed...so what. Playing "backwards" seems natural to me so that's what I do. It seems as always, an additional obstacle but I'm kind of used to that.
It's great that you play the way that feels most natural to you. 👏👏
My daughter is a lefty & I had a heck of a time trying to teach her to tie her shoes. Thankfully my babysitter was a lefty & she taught my daughter how to tie her shoes. LOL. My daughter can't use a can opener either. She is the only lefty is our family so everything is right handed. I feel bad for her.
Nice video. I am left handed and like you I play like a right handed player. I definitely suffer with the bowing hand not being my dominant hand. But I am no doubt unaware of the advantages I have using my dominant hand for the fingering and I appreciate not being limited to instruments with a special left handed set up. In an ideal world, I wish I played the way that is natural for a left hander to play, with the bow in my left hand. But it’s not an ideal world, and I’m glad I can play at all!
I'm a left-handed fiddler and have always had right-handed violins converted to suit me. I wish you could have found some sound clips of the left-handers you featured, especially Charlie Chaplin. I've often wondered how he sounded. Katrina is absolutely mind-blowing! She's won the most prestigious national fiddling contests over and over again!
Hi, you can listen to Charlie Chaplin playing the violin in a scene of 'Limelight' which can be found on youtube. A growing playlist of performances with lefty violin, fiddle and viola players can be found on our channel.
I am left handed and would like to learn how to play the violin 🎻
@@gabyd5662 Great idea. Go for it! 💪
I'm left handed (for writing, throwing etc.) and always have played conventionally..In my 70 years of playing I've seen MANY left handers (I see them marking the music) who write left handed (as I do) but the vast majority play conventionally. One of the players you mentioned (Kolisch) was one of my teachers at Wisconsin - of repertory - Kolisch didn't "give violin lessons." (I studied actual violin playing with the Violin II of the Pro Arte Quartet at the time, Robert Basso.) In Europe Kolisch played on a Strad which he had to return when he left Austria. Kolisch, though Roman Catholic had Jewish ancestry on his father's side and thought it best to emigrate. When the original leader of the Pro Arte, in residence at Wisconsin, died, Kolisch replaced him. The original member of the Belgian Pro Arte were stranded in the US by the war. At U of Wisconsin where I knew him, he played on a converted Camilli. He had a well known maker in Madison, Lawrence LaMay, make a dedicated LH violin with all the measurements reversed. I got to know Kolisch as I did the page turning for colleague Gunnar Johansen who did recitals with Kolisch. In return, Kolisch let me "sit in" on his graduate lectures. LaMay used another his violins for those measurement, which at Kolisch's urging I bought when I graduated. (I also have another LaMay violin and a LaMay viola.) I'm now retired from public playing at age 81.
Thank you for this insightful video! Im right handed but still struggle with bowing lol
👍🎉
Katrina Nicolayeff plays left handed on a right handed violin. Also Dwight Lamb plays in the same way.
Im a left handed guitarist, i am struggling when you say left handed players have better technique. Is this referring to "fretting" technique and speed? In guitar for example i fret with my right hand, which has always been much more dominant since i first picked up an instruments since i was 6-8 years old.
I am looking to purchase a violin in a left handed orientation (fretting with my right hand) and appreciate the video.
Jazz musician Ornette Coleman played violin left-handed
thank you for the video.
it was very informative.
i play guitar and oud as an amateur. both are left handed. espically my oud is custom made. as a left handed ican clearly say that left handed people always have to manipulate the tools that they use in life. it is tough. what i saw in your video was exactly the same.
recently i am interested about violin and i suggest to all left handed people to watch the video. not only for violin topic but also the mind that we convert than usual.
it is a gift.
cheers.
Good video
Thanks! Happy to hear!
I enjoyed your video. The other one you should include is the blind beggar that plays Czardas. As far as technique goes, this one definitely is highly unconventional.
When you play violin you i think u should wear a gold watch because it would look great on u
hi do you do any of your own recordings? solo violin that you have composed ?
I'm a left and right handed can play
Im left handed but i play right handed
So in essence only 3 people played a left handed violin.
There are many more around the world.
