Re: The Argument for Standard Left Pinky Eb/Ab Levers

I'm pretty sure there had been a thread in the last six months that concerned "retro fits." It sounded pretty simple to do. I only argue (again, from MY standpoint) that the extra mechanical part only adds to the level of options and could just make things unnecessarily complex ("Do I take it on the left, or do I take it on the right?").

There is a much younger player who I respect who feels it is necessary for "today's technique." But I don't think fine players of yesterday really had any obvious technical problems. Some might argue a bunch of them were a darn sight better than many today..........I dunno for sure.
