Owen there’s some tricky double stops there! No wonder that took some re-records! Nice work though & I like those little rhythm variations & slides too.

Way to go, Deb! Now that song is in my head! Seems like it would be a good one to harmonize with or to play along with. Not many posting lately; you βbroke the ice.β As usual.

This is a comment / question I have a really old fiddle that was given to me it has geared tuners on it is fully intact but fragile wood not play it but was played alot during its younger years finger board has dips on it from being played so much for a very long time anyway was just wandering if you’ve ever seen or heard of one set up with geared tuners

Hi
I don’t know why you are asking me about this. Did you hit the wrong reply button? in any case, what I do know is that my Best Buddy installed a set of geared tuners on a cheap violin about ten years ago. He purchased the product from George Hienyl ( or Heinyl – I’m not sure of the correct spelling). Apparently there were several types of tuner available but not all would be suitable for a valuable instrument since alteration to the instrument would be required, not something to do on a fine old violin I’d guess.The Heinyl company has been around a long time and might be a source of information for you. They are located in Toronto, Canada and known for high quality, at least they were ten years ago. Times are changing so it’s hard to be sure these days I guess.

Love this article. I moved out of an area in Florida that only played old time and landing in the middle of bluegrass in East Tennessee. Jam sessions have been an challenge. I never had to play “breaks” or sing before. All new. This article puts is all in perspective. Thanks.

By the way, you really should *categorize* this page so it’s easier to find and return to! (For now I’ve saved it as a Favorite, but that doesn’t help others who may never stumble across it!)
-
Thanks for this suggestion, Pete. I’ll pass it along to consider.

Beginner Group 3 years, 7 months agoHello All,
Just joined Fiddlehed. Working my way thru the beginner lessons.-
Hi Brenda,
Nice to meet you. I also have been working my way through the beginner lessons and have found so many little gems here. My best Buddy tells me I’m already sounding better after only a few weeks. He’s been playing music (guitar) for over 50 years so I’m pleased with his words. Best of all I love this new musical me.
Margaret Sharon-
Nice to meet you as well… I hope your practice is coming along. I am having so much fun discovering all the wonderful lessons and additions that are available.
