Fiddle ‘cuts’ in Scottish and Québécois

[Kryssa Lee]

I’m struggling with getting the cuts in the bowing for Scottish and Québécois tunes. Hanneke calls them cuts, and I don’t remember what André called them…triplets or something.

I wonder if anyone has practice tips, or has struggled with the same thing?
I kind of asked this question somwhere else, but thought I’d better ask it here.

Thanks!

Hi, Kryssa.

Good question. Kevin talks about his approach to cuts/bowed triplets in this lesson:
Bowed Triplets

And Hanneke talks about her approach to cuts here:
Scottish Grace Notes – The Cut

Hope that helps!
