Re: [Harp-L] holding harp in right hand vs left

["G. E. Popenoe" <gpopenoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you are so right handed, then I suspect that hand is more  
coordinated. I know mine is. Holding the harp is a dumb task that my  
left hand can handle just fine. Hand vibrato and similar movements Are  
best handled by my right hand.

Also, if you ever think about playing chromatic, that button is on the  
right side unless you want to play the instrument upside down.
