Default Lefty Classicals

Hi there,

I'm not a lefty, but did notice your post and a suggestion that classicals were symetrical - swap the nut and away you go.

A word of caution, 'cos it may not be just that simple. Some fan- strut patterns are symetrical and some are not. Some LOOK symetrical but the maker puts stiffer bracing in the base to manage the difference in tension.

Reversing the nut may make it physically possible to play but upset the tension dynamics (and give a rubbish sound).

Something extra for you to consider.

Good luck and stick with it.

Don
