This brings sweet memories of the old cafeteria/rec-room at Camp Campbell. Many late nights with Tatiana, Tashina, Tristan, Hanneke Laura, Alex, Alasdair, Bruce, Cullen. So lucky to grow into the fiddle around so many great musicians at so many ages. Thanks!
yes, it's a standard 5 string tuning (CGDAE). seems that everyone who comes in contact with darol anger plays one these days. btw, hers was made by john sullivan, and casey's is by john silakowski
I just found a writeup about the history of the 5-string violin by Darol Anger and he says that Sullivan (who has apparently passed away) only made two: one that Anger has, and one that belongs to Enion Pelta.
Very large violin?? That's probably a 5-string 15-inch (3/4) viola. She plays viola... well actually she doesn't... Viola is more for playing low harmony with a fiddle, but she doesn't play it that way. She plays fiddle, using a viola to do it.
How "great" of a fiddler are you? How "great" were you at her age? If she's playing with Mr. Molsky (and she is currently TOURING with him) she is better than good.
Thank you Lord for allowing me the chance to see & hear this at my old age
Amazing talent at such a young age. One of the many youngsters helped to great heights by Mensch Molsky!
She just won first place in the junior AND adult fiddle competitions at Clifftop--and she deserved it!

it's so cute when she looks over at her brother, Alex with that big smile. He looks so proud of little sis!
What a fun video to watch! Man, I feel like a million bucks after watching that. Hats off.
Just found her CD. She plays like she's been playing for decades. Beautiful work!
love it
Wonderful guitar accompaniment! Love the 5-string fiddle and drones!

Amazing, I love it!
I think it's a 5-string violin tuned standard, CGDAE. It might be the same type of 5-string Casey Driessen uses.
Listen to "Started out to ramble", her cd...it's great:)
thanks for the heads up awesome stuff
She's actually amazing. Not just for a kid....

I know this is an old comment, but it's big cuz it has an extra string. Low C :)
it is called a violinist. It has an extra string a low C like on a viola
