After posting a couple of sound clips of gourd fiddle, I guess some people here want to see it![]()

Wonderful! Wonderful! You play Sugar in the Gourd almost exactly like I do. Jeff's fiddle sounds great. Who needs a Gliga Maestro? I love those Japanese street performances, too.

DittoDittoDitto. I do love the sound you get with that thing.
I wonder, though, could you use a regular bow? What effect would that have on the sound? Less full? More full? Neither of those, but it would make it sound like a different instrument altogether?
I'm just curious.

Arigato for the kudos, friends!
>Are you playing it in D?
It's tuned in somwhere near EBEB. So the key is in E but fingering is same as usual A cross Sugar in the Gourd.
>You play Sugar in the Gourd almost exactly like I do
There must be a hot line bwetween Kyoto and Oklahoma!
>could you use a regular bow?
Yes. With a reuglar bow, it's louder and fuller. And easier to play since I'm used to it. But not big difference enough to make it sound like a different instrument. The only reason I used the bow is, gourd looks so cool with bamboo stick![]()
