    Thanks for that Jocelyn!

    I will work through your suggestions over the next while. For the moment I have started experimenting with holding the fiddle in different positions and I’m surprised to notice how even minor changes can affect both the muscle strain and the playing itself positively or negatively. I also got a different shoulder rest…[Read more]

      Hi Caren – @fidil,
      Thanks for reaching out and sharing this.
      Would it be ok if we shared a link to your post in the member newsletter, to facilitate more folks to see it?

      Some ideas come to me:

      Positioning the instrument to us is something to continuously re-evaluate. Also, getting second opinions, where the person can see your body positioning…[Read more]

      Hi everyone,

      I’m relatively new to the fiddle and really delighted to finally get the chance to learn it. So I like to practise a good bit — trying to make up for the decades I missed out on, I suppose — but I’m really feeling it in the auld bones. I was wondering if any of you would like to share your tips on how you’re dealing with that?

      Can anyone help me figure out the tabs to the song One Star in the Night from the classic Christmas tv special: The Little Drummer Boy? The original recording can be found on YouTube, many posts. I can get as far as the third line in the first verse:

                Hey Tammy, took a look at this song again and noticed, if one has interest to change key, an easier version would start 1 note up:
                D0-AL2-0-DL2-0
                DL1-AL2-0-DL2-0
                DL2-A3-L1-D3-L1-AL2-DL2-L1-0-A0-D3-0-H2

                    And another version that starts 1 note down from original:
