Here is something silly to think about, do you have a name for your partner / fiddle ? I will start ?
1. I named Junior he is my first instrument
2. I named Frankie after ( Frank Sinatra ) because the tone is low and mellow and set up as a violin
3. Is named olde boy due to it being aged checked by my luthier at close to 150 – 200 years old and still loves to sing and make others jump around a jig ?
** notice ** all have male names a fiddle acquaintance told me if the tone is ” bright ” it’s a female fiddle
If it’s ” low & mellow ” it’s male
