Re: Left Handed

I am a lefty, but playing right handed never bothered me. I regularly play left handed just for fun.
It wouldn't be hard to stick the pinky ring/hook on the bell instead of the leadpipe. That would be the easiest left handed conversion. Maybe add some sort of thumb rest for your left thumb to sit in on the underside of the bell for comfort.
I know a trumpet player who is missing his right hand, and he just got Schilke to build him a slightly modified trumpet that he uses all the time.
