I ordered the set with the platinum E. My fiddle is a bit small. Not quite a 7/8 but close. I’ve been using the Evah golds on it and they sound pretty good except for the D. They are pretty hard for my left hand fingers too. I have Obligatos on it now but I’m still not 100%…[Read more]

Which ones do you play, the Red’s, Blues, or Pi’s?

I have been using both Shar and SW and they are both good to deal with, but I have not checked out GO Strings yet. Thanks for the tip; I will give them a try.

Two more questions about strings:

1) What strings does Kevin use?

2) What is an economical place to purchase strings? (I have bought them for my various instruments from different places, and they are all quite expensive. I am hoping you guys might have a recommendation that might save me money.)

I am learning from all of you. Now I need to get my Canadian hat on and learn some of Patti’s tunes! Hanneke, I can’t wait to learn how to dot some dragon eyes, as I’m not too fond of dragons. I heard you play Dot the Dragon’s Eyes on your album and it was so beautiful. Bring it!

The only difference I see is when changing speed I have to hit the play arrow each time on my iPad, but on my laptop the speed automatically changes without having to hit the play arrow each time. All in all I believe this will really help me a lot. Thanx! And by the way Casey, you really scream on Jerusalem Ridge…[Read more]

Haven’t tried it on my iPad yet. I must say that I am very impressed with Hanneke’s playing of Hector the Hero. She plays it just as well at 2x as she does at 1x! Impressive;)

And I must say, that the concept of the Fiddlevideo Project is outstanding in my humble opinion. The whole idea of being able to learn from different fiddling-artists representing different genres in one place and at one price, is unique and helpful. And the thought of adding more artists is exciting! The way…[Read more]

I would like to hear all of you guys chime in on string choices. I have a set of Evah’s on my little fiddle. It is a Cannone copy from Infinite Strings and is somewhere between a 7/8 and 4/4. It came with Evah’s on it and I have been afraid to change brands. However, I have been thinking about taking…[Read more]

And that he is! He is not only an awesome Irish fiddler, but he has a real gift for teaching as well! He goes at just the right pace for me and I have been able to pick up several of his easier tunes, as I am not ready for the advanced stuff quite yet. I was actually able to do a…[Read more]

My current bow is a German Brazilwood silver mount bow, but it is heavy, over-haired and poorly balanced. Being a rather financially challenged guy I have been looking up to around $700 or so. I have found that a pernambuco bow in that price range isn’t much better than my clunky German…[Read more]
