time (was Re: frustrated)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I'm a lefty and I learned to tune grands with my right hand and
uprights with my left hand. As I go through the day switching back and
forth I find that I'm less tired than if I have all uprights for the day.
Since I've tuned ambidextrously, I find it hard to do one or the other with
the opposite hand. :-)
