I did, a little.  Also, baritone, flute, and tuba, until they realized 
that I wasn't exaggerating about how bad my hearing is.
(my sister plays French Horn and alphorn, with occasional other brass, 
such as baritone, and a left-handed flugle-horn)
but a piano key, an octave away, was not the same amount of force that it 
took on the manual Royal to get upper case - the entire mechanism had to 
be lifted.
By the time that my little finger muscles built up, I was solidly in the 
habit of using my other hand.  And then it felt strange to have shift keys 
that only took the same force as a regular key.
