I am a lefty who turned the strings around on both my Ashton Soprano electric Uke and my Tenor Uke, appears to be no problems regard sound, no buzzing etc. I have no problems reading a right-handed Uke Chord book. I still play both right and left handed Ukuleles, yes still a learner but i love playing reggae on my ukes, its as if they were made for that music. Try YouTubing people doing ukulele tutorials like ‘stuck on you’ uku chords come up on the left and you can play and sing along. It’s that easy, i have taught about six kids rangig from 10 to 16 to play ukulele and i’m a beginner myself, everyone on earth should own a uke, but i don’t think there’s enough KOA wood to go round. Also learnt Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ what a sound . Aaron down under

Really confused at why it would hard to read a regular chart as a left-hander. You still put your fingers in the same fret and the same position…

If this is a problem for you though, there is this:

Here is a left handed chord sheet for Ukulele. My partner is left handed and this has been great. Michelle Kiba made the chart, scroll down to the the lefty’s chart.

I actually learned to play a right handed ukulele upside down because back when I started there were no left handed ukuleles. Later I got a true left handed ukulele and learned to play it. I can still play both ways…………….

I play a left handed guitar and my mom bought me a right handed uke i found it easy just to play it upside down like holding it in my normal lefty position. Some chord shapes i found work in favor to people playing it upside down its real easy.
