Rare left-handed violin by Kurt Gütter, 1978 (violin for left-handers)

Left-handed violin by Kurt Gütter, master violin maker in Markneukirchen

A left-handed violin is a violin built in mirror image, because contrary to what the outer impression might suggest, a violin for left-handers is by no means symmetrically constructed: The bass bar and soundpost are located off the longitudinal axis, which is why left-handers cannot simply wind the strings in reverse order to be able to guide the bow with their dominant hand like right-handers.
