Celebrating Left-Handed Musicians: A Tribute from Ortega Guitars on International Left-Handers Day
Happy International Left-Handers Day to all the left-handed musicians! At Ortega Guitars, we believe that every musician should feel valued and supported, regardless of which hand they use to create music. Today, we aim to highlight the specific challenges faced by left-handed guitarists and the contributions they have made to the world of music.
At Ortega Guitars, we understand how crucial it is to find the right instrument. For left-handed players, this can be a challenge, as most guitars are designed for right-handers, often forcing lefties to adapt or pay more. To address this, we offer over 60 string instruments as left-handed models, without additional cost. We believe no musician should be at a disadvantage because of their handedness.
The Challenge for Left-Handed Players
Left-handers make up about 10-12% of the population, yet they are often overlooked in the music instrument industry. Most guitars are designed for right-handers, leaving lefties with fewer options. At Ortega Guitars, we recognize this challenge and are committed to making high-quality left-handed models accessible. Our goal is to ensure that left-handed players don’t have to compromise when choosing their instrument.
Equal Opportunities for All
We are dedicated to fairness. That’s why we offer a wide range of left-handed guitars, including nylon-stringed guitars, ukuleles, acoustic basses, mandolins, and banjos—all at the same price as our right-handed models. Additionally, we provide accessories and percussion instruments for left-handers. We aim to ensure that every player has access to the tools they need.
Celebrating Left-Handed Legends
Many famous musicians are left-handed, including Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, and Kurt Cobain. Hendrix, for example, flipped the strings on a right-handed guitar to play his way, creating a distinctive sound that continues to inspire. These legends underscore the importance of offering quality instruments to all musicians.
Left-Handed Comfort: Gig Bags Designed Just for You!
We understand that left-handed guitarists have unique needs. That's why we offer not only a wide range of left-handed guitars but also matching left-handed gig bags! You know the struggle: carrying your guitar bag with your left hand, the back side facing outwards, and having to twist it around before setting it down. That’s unnecessary! Our left-handed guitars come with specially designed left-handed bags that make carrying and setting down your guitar a breeze. Already have a left-handed guitar? No worries! We have the perfect bag for you too. Our left-handed premium soft cases are available for classical guitars and dreadnought guitars.
Left-Handedness and Music
Research suggests (studies by Dr. Diana Deutsch and Dr. Claude P. Robert) that left-handers might have a unique connection to music, potentially being better at recognizing harmonies and complex structures. This further motivates us to support left-handed musicians in reaching their full potential. At Ortega Guitars, we’re here to assist all players in their musical journey.
Ortega Guitars for Every Musician
At Ortega Guitars, we support left-handed musicians every day of the year. On International Left-Handers Day, we extend special recognition to the left-handed players who inspire us. You demonstrate that music transcends boundaries—whether left-handed or right-handed. Keep playing, and remember: We’re here to help you find your perfect sound, no matter which hand you play with.
