Although we must wait a bit for the rest of Hanneke’s tunes due to the sheer volume of new lessons from Patti Kusturok which are currently in editing and production, I’ve gone ahead and published one new lesson from the lady…here you go, guys!! Hope this tides you over for a bit till be work through 20-25 of Patti’s tunes.

Hi DianeG, Thanks for the additional comments on Strings. I really like it when players post their experience with string products, saves us fiddlers testing time, money and gives us insights to your history and knowledge of strings without paying the price. Thanks for sharing. Best Roland FV Moderator.

Hi Casey and others. Yes, the D’Addario, Kaplan (newer generation of synthetic core) strings the Vivo and the Amo are exceptional strings for fiddles. Medium tension strings. The Vivo for darker instruments too, “lighten’s” them up a bit and Amo for brighter instruments to bring them to a more mellow tone. Various results, use at your own…[Read more]

YAHOOOOO. Thanks to Casey, Roland (for the nice welcome : >) and Hanneke (For Reals) for all the great tunes. I just paid for another month of FiddleVidio and with all these new tunes…it will keep me busy for the next year!!!!
Stay tuned. Awesome. Diane in SoCal

Hi, Tomas. I’ll have Lianne McClean’s Revenge up in the next week or so. The rest will wait until I have 20-25 of Patti Kusturok’s lessons up on the site. We are blessed (or cursed) with a ton of new material…about 80 lessons are currently in production, between Patti, Hanneke and Kevin.

You could realisically expect to see this new batch…[Read more]

Yay! I’m so glad to see Dot the Dragon’s eyes will be on there. When do you expect to have the lessons up?

Hi Ulla and Carole, Really glad to hear how excited you are about the new material that Hanneke recorded. You certainly will have a lot of material at hand to explore those beautiful tunes. Casey will be burning the midnight oil editing to get the new tunes on the site. Be sure and check back in on the forum and tell us how your progress is…[Read more]

21 new songs/lessons–that’s incredible. Since I’m a novice, it’ll take me many years to learn them. Thank you very much, Hanneke and Casey.

Wonderful!

Keep in mind that we have 48 tunes from Patti Kusturok lined up for editing and production as well…We’ll be prioritizing about 20 of Patti’s to get up on the site before working on Hanneke’s latest efforts, so please be…[Read more]

Hi Pat, thanks for the extra feedback. There may some subtle commands programmed in that we don’t know about, but thanks for adding that. Best, Roland Moderator

Actually, I just noticed the hot keys display just by entering the +/= key. I don’t have to enter the command key. Several of the hotkeys are not functional for me. I don’t recall this as being available previously.

Thanks, Pat. So glad everyone seems to find the new features helpful. It’s been an interesting journey getting the site going while recording other artists and also working a regular job. I do end up working on this stuff into the wee hours of the night. Glad it’s appreciated.

I also saw your email regarding hot keys. For any other folks out…[Read more]

Casey, that “more granular” adjustment is nothing short of fantastic. Slowly increasing my speed is much easier than the big jump to full speed.

I want to give a big thanks to you, Roland, your software developers, and anyone else who helped you in this effort. I did not even notice any downtime, so I am sure you must have been working while…[Read more]

18 hrs left… Over the waterfall 🙏🏻

That was the best article I’ve ever read about this piece. I like how it touched on so many aspects of the song and its history. whereas other writings argue about what the song is about this piece presents all the angles I’ve considered and the appreciation from the ukulele artist was one of my favorite parts. The article ended on a sad note -…[Read more]
