Left hand free bass action

[breezybellows]

It's amazing how we can train ourselves to play the left hand without looking at the fingers or buttons. I wish the keyboard was also hidden away from our sight. It's the available option that develops the unnecessary habit of peeking.


On a side note, I have not been keeping up with my daily Badinerie repetitions and the performance has deteriorated. I need to go back to slow practice.

My CBA buttons are all white. Newer generations of button Morinos have black dots on the side for peeking, marking the "black keys". I don't really see the point: patterned buttons are much more useful. But the dots do allow for identifying B/C system and range on Ebay photographs.

Right from the beginning I tried to avoid looking at the keyboard wherever possible so I now only glance at it for initial orientation, and then not always.
Learning from the "dots" is much easier that way, I find in my struggles to make head or tail of them
