Music has always been a significant part of our daily lives, especially during the Medieval era. It served as the primary form of entertainment in various regions. The performers of that time, known as minstrels, waits, or troubadours, were the ones who played medieval instruments during city gatherings and parties. These events were often marked by the singing of popular ballads, which alleviated the boredom experienced by many at the time. It is said that religion greatly benefited from the advantages that music provided, particularly during the Middle Ages.

During the Medieval period, there were various types of musical instruments. These instruments can be divided into three main groups: wind instruments, stringed instruments, and percussion instruments. Stringed instruments are those that can be played with a bow or plucked. Percussion instruments include various types of bells and drums. Wind instruments, such as the trumpet or bagpipe, are played by blowing air into them.

Have you noticed the increasing number of left-handed guitarists lately? Unfortunately, it can be quite challenging to find left-handed guitars in regular guitar stores. However, today, left-handed guitarists no longer have to settle for improvising on standard guitars. The lefty guitar market offers a variety of models and types specifically designed for left-handed players.

Approximately 10% of the population is left-handed, and many of them possess great talent and intelligence.

Individuals with a dominant left hand can now choose from a wide selection of guitars designed specifically for strumming with their left hand and fingers. In fact, the available models and options are plentiful and of high quality. Since these guitars are specialized products, be prepared to pay a premium for them.
