NCT ID NCT06530355

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study looked at whether pianists' non-dominant hands are as skilled and fast as the dominant hands of people who don't play instruments. Twenty adults aged 18-30 took part, including pianists with at least 3 years of professional experience and non-musicians. Researchers measured hand dominance, fine motor skills, and reaction time using simple tests like placing pegs and catching a falling ruler.
