graeme started the topic Fiddling with flat hair, or on the side? in the forum Fiddling Techniques and Playing Advice 9 years, 6 months ago
Patrick Clark writes a terse statement several times in which he advises people to fiddle on the flat hair of the bow. In a Frankie Gavin is asked a question in his workshop video on You Tube about fiddling on the side of the bow hair, and he says he doesn’t know about that. Or words to that effect.
In other (violin) texts writers instruct the…[Read more]

I think there may be a general problem at the moment. Now I can’t seem to open any of the lessons. Perhaps it is telling me to go to bed and try again tomorrow 🙂

Hi Casey
I am trying to open up the Advance lesson for Tennessee Waltz but it isn’t opening, neither on my iPad or my desktop. Any idea why this might be?

Casey Willis replied to the topic After a new instrument set up? in the forum Fiddle Setup and Repair 9 years, 6 months ago

graeme started the topic After a new instrument set up? in the forum Fiddle Setup and Repair 9 years, 6 months ago
I have a new instrument that was set up by a local luthier. Should I expect to have it “looked at” by the luthier after about three months of playing, or is this unnecessary?

Thanks for the note, Carole, and also for the kind words. I’ll take a look to see if it’s something specific to Mac…it might be Internet security settings. You might try right clicking on a sheet music link and Opening the link in a new browser window. In the mean time, I’ll email you to find out what sheet music you are looking for…ill just…[Read more]

All of a sudden, I can’t get the sheet music either. Mac 10.7.5/Safari 6.16. The message says “too many redirects.”
I should add that I love this site! The resources are of the very highest quality and very helpful. Many thanks to the entire team. -

That is great Casey, I’m looking forward to seeing your arrangement of it. Also looking forward to Whiskey Before Breakfast, that is one of the standards we play at jam sessions. Between you, Hanneke and Kevin there are so many good lessons it’s hard to decide what to work on. Working on the advanced lessons has really helped me get better. People…[Read more]
