Thanks! I watched the bow holding video again. Very helpful!

Thanks! I do this on other endeavors too….try to “own it” no matter what it looks or sounds like. Hahahaha 🤣

Yes. A big Viola tuned low on purpose for trying to sing an octave down. Re listening to it I perceive it as more of a mess and actually I drifted away from the song to an unintentional medley.

Ha! You’re right it’s not Circle be Unbroken! It’s an unintended medley, on a big Viola tuned low. I think I mixed it up with Poor Wayfaring Stranger.

Thanks everyone! Yes the instrument I was playing in that video was a Viola tuned way low because I was trying sing with it. I have other violins tuned correctly.

Well done, Kate! I enjoyed that.

Sounding great! Your violin has a lovely tone. Well done

I agree – that’s two of you I have to keep up with now!

Well done, Kate, that’s so good – you’ve got a lovely melodious lilt going there! I wish my bowing was that confident and effortless!

Thanks Kate! Yes me too, I’ve started trying to fathom the violin on his recording- next project!
