I write and play racket sports left handed, but golf and cricket right handed and catch equally well with either hand. Anything requiring dexterity such as using tools on the bike is left handed.
I’m almost the same, I write and draw with my left, use a knife/scalpel with my left, racquet stuff left handed, but cricket right handed, and weirdly I throw/catch with my right hand. Tools are random, hammer left screwdriver right. No idea why. But many things I can do with either hand to some extent - I think you just get inadvertently forced to do that sometimes as a lefty, eg with scissors.
Tony Iommi (a left hander) suffered a nasty injury to two fingers on his right hand just as his career was taking off and went through a long period of rehabilitation and learning/adapting to it. Many years later he said if he’d known then what he knows now he would have re-learned to play right handed.

Interesting about the left/right.

I may see anyone locally to me from work has a right handed instrument for me to borrow for a couple of weeks. Would I know by then if it feels natural enough?
