Yes, but be sure to where shoulder pads, for they are quite heavy
when leaning against your shoulder (whether left OR right).
Players of the Defensive Left Tacle harps also play quite roughly,
often hurling the instruments forcibly to the floor (a la Jimi
Hendrix). For some reason there seems to be a sense of competitiveness
among Defensive Left Tacle players about who is the first to accomplish
this feat after finishing playing a piece of music (something about a
first down, I believe)

(rimshot) Ooh! Droll, very droll. I must quit the field and
acknowledge my better when a master has uttered the last word upon the
subject.
