Great tips and explanation.

[@HannahHarrisCeol]

@@pauloconnor6331 Thank you, Paul! So glad to hear that.

This sounds almost like a base drum keeping the beat. Very cool!

[@HannahHarrisCeol]

Ohh interesting! I have to go back and listen to this one, but I’m curious if that’s from my foot tapping or from leaning more into the back beat of the bowing creating that effect. Glad you enjoyed! :)

Wow, looks so simple when you do it, but when I try ... Very great tip, I like it, it brings like an extra beat in the music. Thank you so much !

[@HannahHarrisCeol]

Keep at it, Samm! It's so much fun as you get the hang of it!

This is such a simple yet elusive technique. Thank you for the clarifications and practice tips, they've really helped me get the sound I wanted from my polka playing.

You are so welcome, Merilee! I'm thrilled to hear that -- hope to play some polkas with you in a session sometime!
