<BR>I am *hopelessly* right handed. Even tendinitis and torn rotator cuff disorders could not get me to learn to tune left handed. Therefore, in the high treble sections of grands, I have used a 6" tip now for over 20 years. Again, I strictly avoid any pin bending. I also use other longer tips to clear high plate struts on some grands and verticals.
