Objective. To describe the ability of instrumentalists; to check manual preference of instrumentalists; to compare the manual ability of instrumentalist with non-instrumentalists and to demonstrate their ability of non-dominant hand. Method. This study was cross-sectional, quantitative with random sample selection. There were 15 instrumentalists and 15 non-instrumentalists, males, aged between 30 and 59 years in research. The Identification Questionnaire, Edinburgh Inventory and Purdue Pegboard Test were applied. Statistical analysis was performed by measures of central tendency and dispersion, the Shapiro-Wilk test was used to check the normality of the data and the Student t test was used to compare the groups, with p<0.05. Results. There was equal distribution of hand preference between instrumentalists and non-instrumentalists. The instrumentalists performed better than non-instrumentalists to dominant hand (15.76±2.20) and non-dominant (14.44±1.68; p<0.001) and when compared to non-dominant hand of instrumentalists (14.44±1.68) with the non-dominant hand instrumentalists (12.40±2.24; p=0.009). Conclusion. In instrumentalists, the manual preference behavior does not differ from non-instrumentalists; however, they showed higher number of pins placed by each hand. The differences in performance are evidence of neuroplastic mechanisms of motor learning, in which musicians was submitted.
