Best Answer

It is held vertically with your right thumb under the thumb rest on the back and left had on top. The Left thumb controls the octave key on the back of the top stack. The pointer, middle and ring fingers on both hands operate the round keys on the body, while the pinkies are used to play the long keys that protrude from the sides.
