I got a Hardanger fiddle recently which is a 4/4. The 4/5 I am pretty sure relates to the drone strings, you can see that in the tuning link below. Those fiddles are being constantly tuned as the tuning is usually changed from tune to tune. Traditional Hardangers are pretty hard to tune so I got mine outfitted with Wittner pegs, that is really…[Read more]

hmmm, I posted a response but it is does not show here. Perhaps because there were two links in, one to the American Hardanger fiddle association and another one to a page they are having which is showing the diverse most popular tunings which also shows that the 4/5 relates to the drone strings.
Anyways – perhaps Casey can allow those links…[Read more]

Here are some of my favorites which seem not to be listed….(is there a chance to indicate some of Kevin’s bowing in the sheet music? His bowing gives his fiddling the special life and this would support learning the patterns he uses 🙂
– Dinney Delaney
– The Yellow Wattle
– Caislean na nOr
– Bobby Casey’s Hornpipe
– The Sligo Maid

After accelerating the playback speed up to 1.5 x (in the youtube settings) the hornpipe was real fun! Would you mind sharing the sheet music Captainswing? I’d like to bring it to our celtic jam to try with a larger group there – cheers! – Sylvia

I don’t know whether it is possible because Kevin plays all the tunes solo which is super-beautiful…..but if you could add the chords for guitar/accompaniments that would be awesome because I want to play them with others. Not everyone can play solo fiddle like Kevin does, he is a true master.
Cheers! – Sylvia

Hi Casey,
It seems there is no list for Niall Murphy in your original post (or am I overlooking it?). His lessons are totally rocking’ my learning boat 🙂 do you have more recordings from him than have already been published? – Cheers! – Sylvia

Kitegal started the topic Cajun fiddling/Zydeco? in the forum Lessons in Production – Fiddle Tune Requests 2 years, 10 months ago
Hi Casey and all,
A friend lately mentioned Cajun fiddling and I always liked Zydeco to begin with. Real fun dance music. Looking around I found a MelBay book with sheet music and a CDD for Cajun fiddling and thought this can be quite fun – but it does not seem all that easy.- Is there a chance for you to consider adding Cajun fiddling to the…[Read more]
