If memory serves, there are more tunes from Kevin still in the backlog which have not been published yet on Fiddlevideo. If so, when will we see more of those here? He is my big favorite too 🙂

Thank you! – Sylvia

Very much appreciate your response and help. I am very empathetic to the fact that running a site like this is a very ambitious project and needs lots of work and attention. I can’t even imagine how Casey can juggle this with touring and being a professional musician.
The site here is a real gem, a great resource for…[Read more]

Hopefully you are doing well. It seems a bit worrisome that there have been no new lessons been published since quite a while. A long time ago you had mentioned that there were still many lessons you have in reserve but need to process them first. For example some gems from Kevin Burke. But nothing had been added since.

It would be…[Read more]

I have a Codabow Joule and don’t regret getting it. I got it when I got a 5 string fiddle to have a bit a weightier bow for the C string. The bow works perfectly well for this purpose but I like it so much that I am using it also often on a 4 string. It depends on the occasion.

The Joule comes with the advantage of being more robust…[Read more]

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]

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]

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

Not everyone can play solo fiddle like Kevin does, he is a true master.

Cheers! – Sylvia

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

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]
