If he sounds good, he should keep playing how he’s used to. Wouldn’t make much difference if it’s a straight horn. Any trigger horn should go over the left shoulder.
Proper set up my ass
I had a fucking stroke you piece of shit
I physically can't move it with my right hand
It works just fine in the right shoulder moving the slide with left hand
Proper set up asshole
Plus notes using the trigger are overrated kill me now
Straight horns can be played anyway, and Ive no doubt they make reversed triggers. In fact I’ve never seen a straight horn that CANT be played either way. You can play your straight horn on the right shoulder no problem and you should try it sometime just for fun, I’ve played in pop groups with my horn reversed for some fun. The only issue you might run into is the spit valve which is easily worked around
The bigger question is why, unless you have a disability like another comment mentions, there doesn’t seem to be any benefit even if you’re left handed. If you sound good people could care less how you play either way.
I taught a group of kids how to put their instruments together and make their first sounds the other day and one of them absolutely refused to believe that it should be on his left shoulder. He kept saying how it hurt and he liked it his way better and it was so infuriating
You can get f attachment horns that have been flipped. I know a woman that has one. It's not a fancy brand or a bass, but it can save you a 6th position throw every now and again.
I could be wrong but from a little bit of googling it seems that left handed triggers are custom made, nobody sells them regularly. Would be cool to see one someday though.
With the ysl 354 at least you can flip the bell and it works fine
Ever since I had a stroke 4 years ago I've been playing it with my left
I physically can't move the slide with my right hand fuck you Carl
Look at every f attachment or bass trombone ever made
I've heard of there being flipped horns for lefties, but I've never seen one myself
As a left handed player I have also never seen one
As another left handed bass trombone player, I also have never seen one.
as another left handed tenorbass player, i have never seen nor heard of one. nor do i want one.
Do you have a trombone handy? Try and play it on the right shoulder. How’d that go? Does your horn have a trigger? Yeah…
Always played on the left shoulder, right hand operating the slide
Two words: Slide Hampton.

He should definitely play it with a proper set up. He'll have nothing but problems in the years to come
If it’s just some dude playing in a small group not gunning for an orchestra job, it’s probably not going to be a big deal.

If anyone you know plays left, then deposit your trombone spit onto them please.
Okay, but don’t try playing this way while marching. No marching band would allow this.
Slide Hampton is the only left-handed player that I can think of that is well-known.
There’s a guy on the u tube he plays 5 bones at once so there’s that
Both, I prefer right tho
