Ya need both hands to play all them stringed instruments.
Anyone who requires a left handed guitar is only trying to call attention to themselves, especially when they are just new to the learning of it. (can you say Narsistic?)
I have changed aprox. 20 guitars to lefty's in my lifetime as a guitar repair tech. & I charge $150-$200 bucks to do it. I just smile after I've gotten paid.
The tuba on the other hand (ha ha) is just a matter of practice, or medical abnormalities. I happen to have had carpul tunnel, so I played an upright valve model as lefty for a couple years. after my surgery however (and rehab) I moved on to a valve-front tuba & sold the student model. I still would like to own a wagner double-tuben for the cool soft-spoken sound, but there are other horns that give that sound too. Like an oval miraphone.
