Rather than change the lute, you could just treat the sinistrality.

I suppose on that note I am a lefty too. I draw and write with my left hand (does that make me a pen-pusher?). I also use a spoon and toothbrush left-handed. But in all else, I am right-handed. I would give my right-arm to be ambidextrous! Best Wishes Ron (UK) Miles wrote... What an instructive and hilarious posting! Many thanks! I am a lefty, but from the very beginning of my plucking life (age 12 or therabouts) I have played guitar and lute right-handed. Perhaps I am ambidextrous to some degree, but I certainly throw a ball with my left, and write with my left. Since both hands must be used skilfully, I wonder if there is any fundamental reason why the plucking or bowing hand has to follow one's dexterity or sinister tendencies.
