The classical bow hold can produce ‘shaker bow’ whilst performing which is not ideal. Máiread ní mhaoinaigh of Altan & So many Cape Brenton fiddle seem to as well. I think the shorter and quicker fiddle Bowing the longer the distance between the bow/ string contact point to bow hold point will provide shaker bow on fast tunes easily. We are not classical players and I think there might need to be a fiddler acceptance group hahaha our technical bag is very different

When I play with the classical bow hold to play fast requires less motion of the bow always this does 2 things. 1) differentiate long and short nites 2) provides a feeling of the sound from the bow moving faster than the bow speed illusion

It also has to do with the balance point of the bow it the balance point requires you to hold it more like a classical player because of the weight distribution then there is no choice. So an excuse to to bow shopping :)

I’m an adult beginner and Ive tried this after seeing folks holding it that way at the sessions, I love it! A question, from your experience, will there be any gotchas in terms of technique down the line in terms of all the Irish dance rhythms and ornamentation?
@HannahHarrisCeol 3 ай бұрын
Hi Leo! So glad to hear that you're loving this bow hold! I'd say the bow hold itself was definitely a gotcha moment for rhythm, but another would be using less bow overall (specifically for fast tunes). There are a bunch of mnemonic devices for keeping track of the different rhythms too (I talk about a few in this email: hannah-harris-ceol.ck.page/posts/this-week-s-fiddle-tip-may-make-you-hungry).

This is so reassuring! I've had a violin for nearly 20 years but I haven't worked hard at it. About a year ago I got an accordion, and recently got a book of Irish music arranged for the piano accordion. I just decided I'd start learning the Irish tunes on the fiddle as well. When I do a classical bow hold but on the wire wrapping, it just feels so much more balanced and comfortable!

I'm so happy to hear that, Adam! You may find that you'll want to change where you hold the bow over time (I think I've moved back down closer to a classical hold than I used to, but still about where you are now on the wire wrapping) -- the important thing is to keep experimenting and knowing that you have options!

I follow Altan (Irish band). I have most of their albums and the only one I haven't liked is the one they did with an orchestra; they were dragging that orchestra around like a dead weight. I had a chance to speak with Claire Friel about it and she said she knew what I meant, and that their accordion player was trying to explain how to play a tune and they just weren't getting it.
@HannahHarrisCeol 6 ай бұрын
Love Altan and Clare! Great musicians :). Coming originally from the classical world myself, it is definitely not an overnight process for getting the feel for the style or even for one project like recording an album! It would be fun to hear an orchestra made up entirely of trad players, but even then I think you'd run into a situation where everyone is playing in their own style and you'd miss a bit of the cohesive sound an orchestra can create. Guess they each have their strengths in their own fields!
