Shirley brought in this nice American fiddle that her father made. It’s really an interesting piece, and has a great fiddle sound! Listen to Chris from The Bluegrass Shack play Ragtime Annie on it.

Sounds great & I love the ending!
Thank you! I really enjoy playing.
@akropiss Yes! There are MANY different types of fiddling — even around
the states here. I don’t even think there are names for them all!
There are no silly questions! Yes, there are chords on fiddle, but they are
used mostly for backup and they only consist of two notes. If I get a
chance, I’ll post something about chords. Keep watching.
A fiddle and a violin are the same instrument. Classical players usually
refer to it as a violin, and bluegrass, folk & country usually refer to it
as a fiddle. There IS a difference in setup and strings of the instrument,
though. Classical players usually prefer a more curved bridge and perlon or
perlon-type strings. “Fiddle” players many times prefer steel strings. This
is, of course, personal preference.
only like a month and a week and i’ll be standing right tharrrrr!!!!
Im new on the fiddle and it seem like it is all fingering, are there any
chords, silly question I know but if there are could you post them.
You play your examples with clean precision. I’m able to learn a lot from
your videos.
A home made fiddle,that is pretty neat!
