Wow... another left-handed violist. We're a rare breed indeed. Anyway, have you taken a look at the threads on the list archive about SMUT? It basically involves training yourself to be able to fire a single motor neuron while keeping the ones surrounding it from firing (not enough to move your arm... or at least not visibly). Apperantly there are about 12 of them in the bicep area that are close enough to the surface of the skin to probably be useful enough for something like this, and I'm sure that wouldn't do anything to your handwriting or anything. - Joel Hardy () P.S.
