[quote=Anonymous]String instruments require different hand coordination than wind due to the bow. Piano requires reading two clefs simultaneously and both hands playing different parts at the same time. So I don’t know if that affects the brain in different ways — certain physical activities that use both sides of the body at once in different ways require coordination across both hemispheres. Apart from that, the repertoire is different for these instruments. Saxophone was invented in the mid-19th century whereas string instruments like violin, cello, etc. were invented in the early 16th century (and clavichord/harpsichord even earlier). [/quote]
