Does a left handed person need a left handed ukulele?
This is because equal use of your dominant hand (your left hand if you're lefty) and non-dominant hand (your opposite hand) is required to play ukulele. There's never a time where you're using your left hand more than your right hand or vice versa when playing. To play the ukulele, it's a 50/50 split using both hands.
