Sweet! The nice swing you have suggests that it would go well with Harvest Home in a set…

Thanks!

Thank for this article. I especially appreciate the introduction to Evelyn Glennie. I wonder about her several references to deafness. I wonder whether this conference had something to do with people who are deaf.

Once you learn a tune, take a journey by adding practice variations. This adds Desirable Difficulty which helps you learn it more thoroughly. But mainly it’s fun.

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.
