I've been working on those damn triplet and roll things for 20 years... (come from classical background) this is the first time I've seen anyone actually teach it as if I were in a private lesson... thanks

Thanks for all your video. I'm a classical violonist and I play in an celtic rock band for 2 years now. I think it's difficult to sound like fiddle and it help me a lot to see your video. Do you give online classes by any chance?

5 strings? As Viola CGDAE ? Or in reverse order? EADGC ? What of the left handed slope of the fingerboard,bridge and bus bR under the lowest pitched strings and the peg box. ?

As in viola with an E! So lowest is C

5 strings? Must have been major surgery on the pegbox to make room for yhe extra peg?

Not quite!! She was built this way - larger fingerboard and everything

5 strings? Did they add a C string?
@mikelafiddle Жыл бұрын
Yes! Well I like to think they added the E string since it's a viola sized fiddle. I have to put a thicker e string on it so it doesn't break with the extra tension from the 15.5" scale length. A standard fiddle is a 14" scale length
