Thank you very much George! Very much appreciate your response and help. I am very empathetic to the fact that running a site like this is a very ambitious project and needs lots of work and attention. I can’t even imagine how Casey can juggle this with touring and being a professional musician.
The site here is a real gem, a great resource for…[Read more]

Hey there,

I have a Codabow Joule and don’t regret getting it. I got it when I got a 5 string fiddle to have a bit a weightier bow for the C string. The bow works perfectly well for this purpose but I like it so much that I am using it also often on a 4 string. It depends on the occasion.

Hi Casey,

It seems there is no list for Niall Murphy in your original post (or am I overlooking it?). His lessons are totally rocking’ my learning boat 🙂 do you have more recordings from him than have already been published? – Cheers! – Sylvia
