First of all, thanks for clicking on my awkwardly titled post. I've mentioned my oddball CBA before, 5 row Finnish system on the right hand, reversed 3 row Finnsh system bass.
I've returned to it recently after giving up on it a
few years ago. I'm working through an old Frank Gaviani method book, playing the right hand exercises in unison with my left hand. Once in a while, pretty often actually, something doesn't sound right and I assume I've made an error with my left hand. But it's almost always my right hand that's off track; my left is finding it easier to finger the patterns! Of course my left is not involving my thumb, so maybe that expression about being all thumbs applies here, at least to my right hand.
Anyways, that is my unexpected observation. Somehow the reversed freebass system is falling under my fingers more easily. Has anyone else, a b system player of the Russian school perhaps, notice such a thing?
