Introducing Eva the 109-year-old German-made violin – my new (old) purchase. I’ve been at this exactly one year. Eva is much easier to play than my cheap starter violin. Hopefully, I noticed a huge improvement the second I picked her up! Teach me EVA, teach me!
I recently took off the cheater fret tapes on the neck. Finding those notes with no…[Read more]

Looks like there is a Fiddlehed video from 2015 on YouTube of the Bandura Waltz which is a popular Ukrainian tune. Any chance we could get a copy of the music and video posted on the site and maybe even feature it in solidarity with Ukraine?

Thanks for you comment. I’m trying to learn to make the fiddle “sing” and not sound so practiced. When playing the fiddle, there’s so much to think about it.

Thanks. I found it wandering around the web one day. A Scottish composer wrote to honor a group of Oregon fiddlers. Isn’t that cool?

Beginner Group 4 years, 3 months agoHey folks! Making my way through module 1.2 right now and noticed there’s a missing technique video for week 3. Does anyone have an idea on what that might be?
I was able to track down a 1.2 tune that’s not listed (Angeline the Baker), but not able to find this technique video.

I’m going to try another device over the weekend. I have a Nikon DSLR with video capability (but I think the microphone on that is pretty bad too). I was a little concerned that it was my fiddle–but I really tried to listen for a buzz and I couldn’t hear anything. I’ll experiment with what I have available and see if I can get something to work…[Read more]

I do hear a slight buzz coming from the video but if you don’t hear the buzz from the instrument then odds are it’s how the microphone on your iPhone is picking things up. Have you tried recording on other devices just to check?

I’m currently using my iPhone to record. Do you think this buzz/trill is because of my phone? I do not hear any buzz from my instrument when I play.
My fiddle is an Eastman VL100. Bow is pernambuco from Fiddlershop.
