I was wondering whether a clarinet with the keys on the opposite side to a
normal clarinet so the RH is on top has ever been made? I mean, you can
play the recorder that way, so why not the clarinet? I know it would feel
unnatural, but if you learnt that way from the start it wouldn't. Electric
basses and guitars are made for both left and right handers, but have there
ever been any clarinets like that?
Thanks
