I'm left handed, and I know some things can be suited for left handers, and some cannot. I remember I used to hold the pistol, rifle, dragonboat oar and I think recorder differently(or even special left handed model for pistol). How about the sax?

I ask, because everytime I imagine myself holding the sax, I instictively put my left hand below the right. Mr. Green

Shouldn't be a problem for you, if that's what you're asking. I've never seen a reversed saxophone, either, but there's undoubtedly some out there.

I'm left handed, and personally I think it is advantageous to be a lefty sax player. Considering the heaviest/hardest to press keys are operated with you left hand, and you need to left hand keys down before you can use any of the right hand keys. Also, it might even take extra left-hand coordination to hit the palm keys? Cool

I've never heard of a left hand sax, because, aren't the keys almost in the center anyway?
