Re: What guitar do I buy for my daughter?

Lumpy expounded in news:696mkjF31no1vU1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:

Lump:
[left handed violin]
The violin would have to be rebuilt.
Nut, bridge, bracing, chin rest etc
are all built for right handed players.

Just like a guitar, you can't simply
string it backwards.

Arlowe:
You wouldn't have to change the strings,
just playing techique. Externally A violin
is virually symetrical so there is nothing
to stop you from holding the violin from
the right (to play left handed)...

Uh, no, that's not correct.

Lumpy

The thumb is in the wrong place.

Snark.
