Standard vs cross- tuning on Fiddle

[@arbaugrl]

I've recently been cross tuning about 80% of the time. Love it! Thanks for putting this up!

Thanks, Bob! Cross tuning is fun, isn't it?

Hey Peggy - surprised to see no chin rest on your fiddle. Any reason? Did you know these things were not added to fiddles until the middle part of the 19th century? When I first started playing I tried to rest my chin on that thing. What a mistake that was, started me getting all kinds of pain. Thankfully someone finally told me it's not a chin rest at all... more of a jaw rest.

No chin rest or jaw rest for me...lol. I've tried different ones and finally realized I was wasting my money on something that just wasn't gonna work for me...yes, lots of pain involved in finding that out. I prefer no chin rest and no shoulder rest either one. Just hang onto it as best as I can any way I can. I did know that the shoulder rest is a pretty new invention, and that the chin rest is a fairly newer invention too. I have a box of both...failed experiments.

Enjoyed that, and I'm not a fiddle player.

Happy you liked it, Dick! Thank you.
