I have a related question. When I started playing a little less than a year
ago, it just felt more natural for me to have my right hand on top and left
on bottom. I'm left handed. I'm not sure if that is the "normal" right
handed way or not. But it concerns me in the sense of getting a longer
flute where the maker would probably offset the finger holes for easier
fingering. How are the holes placed on a long flute where right hand is on
top vs. left.

Subject: Left handed / Right handed ?
I was just curious as to the differences with what I would call left or
right handed Shakuhachi. Were they traditionally made one way or the other
or was it always a personal thing as to which hand is upper most and which
is lower. Does dexterity really play a part here as it seems both hands are
used equally to me. When I see photos of others playing I have noticed about
half and half.
Thanks,
