Subj: RE: [kl] Left, Right or mixed handed?

Christy,

May I respectfully ask what is the point of your question? Knowing that
there are 80 percent right handed, 15 percent left handed, and 5 percent
mixed handed people on the klarinet list who respond to your question will
not, by itself, provide any useful insight that I can see.

I also believe this subject has been discussed before in a different
way. More along the lines of, "Is it an advantage for a clarinet player to
be left handed?"
