Yep … practice is key indeed. Some months to go yet it seems 🙂

Mike, it’s 29 inches. Is that longer than standard?

Very haunting, especially with that echo

Debbie, how long is your bow? It looks massive

Excellent, do you bend your wrist to play vibrato. I shall be trying that very shortly. Oh, and your tone sounds really good.

Love, love this…. a challenging piece well done!

Amazing, Tom…. a favorite song of mine, and you do it so well! I have a soft spot for the maudlin Celtic tunes!!!
