Oops! Yes, I do mean that he ruined his **right** hand. He used to play in the standard way with the instrument on his left shoulder and the bow in his right hand. Now he plays the other way round.

A minor quibble, but do you mean "ruined his *left* hand"? I can imagine bowing with an injured right hand as long as the wrist, elbow and shoulder were still ok, but doing the job normally assigned to the left hand with an injured right sounds impossible.
