Michelle: I taught myself to tune left handedly on uprights using an impact hammer, and would never switch back. I was finding that trying to tune the bass with my right hand was putting a sever strain on my back dut to the twisted position that required. Very bad body mechanics. I started training myself to use the impact hammer on pitch raises, first just in the bass, and then gradually up to the mid treble. I then switch back to tuning right handed up to the top. The technique will come, if you stick with it. I tune grands with my right hand, as there is little or no twisting required to tune the bass. Good luck, Patrick C.
