Way to go, Deb! Now that song is in my head! Seems like it would be a good one to harmonize with or to play along with. Not many posting lately; you “broke the ice.” As usual.

This is a comment / question I have a really old fiddle that was given to me it has geared tuners on it is fully intact but fragile wood not play it but was played alot during its younger years finger board has dips on it from being played so much for a very long time anyway was just wandering if you’ve ever seen or heard of one set up with geared tuners

Hi
I don’t know why you are asking me about this. Did you hit the wrong reply button? in any case, what I do know is that my Best Buddy installed a set of geared tuners on a cheap violin about ten years ago. He purchased the product from George Hienyl ( or Heinyl – I’m not sure of the correct spelling). Apparently there were several types of tuner available but not all would be suitable for a valuable instrument since alteration to the instrument would be required, not something to do on a fine old violin I’d guess.The Heinyl company has been around a long time and might be a source of information for you. They are located in Toronto, Canada and known for high quality, at least they were ten years ago. Times are changing so it’s hard to be sure these days I guess.

Love this article. I moved out of an area in Florida that only played old time and landing in the middle of bluegrass in East Tennessee. Jam sessions have been an challenge. I never had to play “breaks” or sing before. All new. This article puts is all in perspective. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this wonderfully informative article. I am really enjoying rhe article, links, recordings and pictures.
Kudos to you, Jim and Jayson ! -
Fantastic article and examples! Thanks for a powerful Music History course in miniature!

By the way, you really should *categorize* this page so it’s easier to find and return to! (For now I’ve saved it as a Favorite, but that doesn’t help others who may never stumble across it!)

Thanks for this suggestion, Pete. I’ll pass it along to consider.

Beginner Group 3 years, 7 months agoHello All,
Just joined Fiddlehed. Working my way thru the beginner lessons.-
Hi Brenda,
Nice to meet you. I also have been working my way through the beginner lessons and have found so many little gems here. My best Buddy tells me I’m already sounding better after only a few weeks. He’s been playing music (guitar) for over 50 years so I’m pleased with his words. Best of all I love this new musical me.
Margaret Sharon-
Nice to meet you as well… I hope your practice is coming along. I am having so much fun discovering all the wonderful lessons and additions that are available.

So I did. I wasn’t aware who might have been there that day, but I’m glad someone picked it up. Your versions sounds really good already.
I think it’s a relatively easy tune to learn and it is beautiful. It has become one of my go-to tunes to start a practice session and if anyone is willing to listen!

Hello Tom! Actually it was you that introduced me to the song on one of the Zoom calls! Thank you! Jason was able to send me a copy of the sheet music that you sent him – so thank you again!
Kirstie Mclanaghans story about how the song came about is truly heart breaking, but it is absolutely one of the loneliest, sad and beautiful tunes I have…[Read more]

Tom replied to the topic A Tune For Lewis – Feedback Video in the forum Student Videos 3 years, 7 months ago
Thanks for sharing that, Kevin! I discovered the same tune and its sad back story earlier this year, and since i cound not find any sheet music online, I had to figure it out by ear and learn it that way; likely same as you?
Eventually, I reached out to Kirstie Mclanaghan over facebook to thank her for writing it. She was happy to hear someone…[Read more]
