disorientating was playing with a German violinist who had had an
accident that ruined his right hand; he re-taught himself to play
left-handed.
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,
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.

There's a further topic for discussion. What does anyone claim Trad
C/C means? I suspect there are people on this list who will disagree
with me, but I think the statement 'Trad C/C' is usually a nonsense
