Yup RTZ. "Be Prepared" to play some fiddle tunes!
Boy scout Fiddle, Sounds and looks excellent
Thanks Darryl. You're right about it being an entirely different beast! I played guitar for many years before retiring to WV. Here I became friends with a group of folks playing traditional Appalachian fiddle tunes so I started playing banjo with them. When I wanted to play fiddle I had a few very good players who would show me what they were doing so I could get started. Heck, I was 60 and didn't even know how to tune one! Since then I've learned a ton of stuff from free youtube lessons. Look up Fiddlerman, and Red Desert Violins. They're two of my favorite tutors.
excellent playing and build
how did you learn violin? i bought a german violin at a garage sale for 20 bucks, spent 100 to get it repaired and in playing condition...now i have to learn to play it....i have some piano lessons. and self taught gutiar ...but this is a whole different animal
Or just make another one Wade! I've made some that sounded bad and the time spent working on them I could have made at least one more! However, the tearing apart is valuable too because that way you can do a fair before and after comparison
Thanks much Derek!
Thanks Wade. On a carved top fiddle it's a no no to glue the sound post in, but that's what I do on CB fiddles since you can't wedge the post in place due to the flat top. I try to plan where the bridge will be and then glue in the post about 1/8" directly behind the treble foot. The bass bar is pretty important for a good sound also.
Thanks Bristol.
