This tune was taught to me by the Madison County fiddler Rodger Howell:

Actually, it sound Scottish to me... and it's so pentatonic,
that in a way in sounds Chinese- appropriate given the source of the instrument!

Very, nice indeed. This is great stuff to listen to in-between my practice session.
Thanks Hardy

Lovely playing. Did you put reverb on this track or is this the natural resonance and presence of this instrument? If the latter, I don't see why some people slam Chinese instruments, unless they've just encountered low end stuff which every country probably produces. That is deffenitly ? top shelf tone.

I added just a very little reverb. Anyhow, this fiddle would have been sold in New York or Chicago for 30 to 40K.
I "stole" it and I'm very happy with it.

Reverb. .....un-necessary Hardy, anyway u pla it, it'll still be tha best. U'r very intimidating. We'll always be "fumble-fingered-fiddlers" in comparison. We hate ya Hardy ( LOL ). Oooo....jus paint us "envyous green".

I have no comprehention of what "stealing" means when it comes after 30-40K, but I would guess that obviously buys a lot of "presence".

Just a note... while this fiddle is an awesome instrument -- It's Hardy's skill that brings it to life. When he plays my grandpa's fiddle -- an inexpensive German trade/factory fiddle from the 1880s -- his magic comes through. I can only hope that a bit of his magic will wear off on me!
