I wish I could play the fiddle like that (can play any sort of plucked instrument, guitars, bass, mandolin(I picked it up because I couldnt play the violin). My grandfather played the violin beautifiully, and I wanted his instrument when he passed away, but my cousin foght for it and got i and the last time I saw it it was in a closet with the neck broken off. Just love that instrument and admire anyone who can even get a sound out of it.
Afew years ago, a young kid that my girlfreind worked with who was working the lowest minimum wage job at the place wanted to learn and was saving every last penny he could to buy one. so my girlfriend and I went off to the place he was taking lessons (renting one) and we asked the teacher to recommend a good student model for us to buy for him and had the teacher present it too huim at his next lesson. There is nothing like getting someone started in the arts. He now plays for a local orchestra, and that feels good. Doesnt play as good as the selection we heard tonight, but plays well enough.
Sorry for going on line that, but I just get so envious of those who can play that instrument so sweetly.
