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
Thank you, you are a woderful violinist. Very sweet sounding instrument. I have never seen an 8 string violin.I ve seen hardanger fiddles with under drones, but never side to side 8 string in the same plane. NOW I HAVE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE!
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. ?
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
If u want to hear how to lift reels dear listen to Tara Breen, or new lass on the scene Olivia Barrett, u need to actually master it yourself before u make attempts, of explaining it, 👍🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️

As in viola with an E! So lowest is C
matur suksma!
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
Hey Hey
She can play the fiddle with both hands!
5 strings? Did they add a C string?
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
@@mikelafiddle OK so Another instrument I have to get?
Can there be fiddle sized viola?@@mikelafiddle
Yes .jut string a fiddle as a viola as my 1/4 size cello is same tuning as my 4/4 cello. Handier for the bus/,train. 😊
