  | | He should play it exactly the same way as a right-handed person, with his left hand for the b,a, c and g notes. Later on, he'll need to use his left hand for the low note, because the holes at the bottom are turned to the side and can't be played with the wrong hand.

| | I'm afraid not. The bottom two fingers cover two holes each and they're not exactly the same size - it is essential that you use the correct hand.
This isn't a problem, though. The right and left hands have equal amounts to do, so it shouldn't be any more difficult for a left-hander than for a right-hander.

| | Hi. I am left handed and was bought a penny whistle for Christmas. I have now driven eveyone one insane with my tuneless tooting! However, when I picked up the whistle it was natural for me to have my right hand at the top. I have tried with my left hand at the top and find it almost impossible. It does not feel at all natural. In fact it had been my new years resolution to play a musical instrument, I had hoped to maybe play the recorder, but I think I am going to find it too difficult if I have to reverse my hands. There is a society for lefties, its easy to find on the web. There is an interesting account about left handed childrem and musical instruments.
