Lovely playing James! I wish I could bring in double stops that don’t sound like an accident! I usually find it takes me 2 days to learn the A part nevermind being able to play a whole tune without reading!

Thanks Carolyn & Cindy! It’s certainly a beautiful sounding violin. I feel really excited & motivated now to improve my playing to do it justice. I made my choice after whittling down the selection to 3 or 4 & was really interested to hear the difference in the tone & sound of them all. Apparently in general, German violins tend to have a bright &…[Read more]

My local music shop kindly sourced a number of beautiful old German fiddles from around the country as they thought they would suit the Celtic & Old Time tunes I like to play. After a few hours of playing & listening I finally plumped for this old & well worn…[Read more]

Jason, I love the sound of the new tune “To You….” very hypnotic it reminds me a bit of Sigur Ros.

Is anyone else doing this? I started to post my daily updates on the Timing workshop page, as Jason suggested, but no-one else is. Maybe everyone else is keeping a personal log?
