Fiddlers amongst the rabble?

[BozemanboB]

Hi there, Rogue.

Good on you! And if she's been talking about it for years then there's no good reason to keep waiting.

You might direct her to The Fiddle Hangout (http://www.fiddlehangout.com/) for information. Good info and nice folks there. Otherwise I'm sure she could post questions here and we fiddlers might be able to come up with decent answers.

Best advice I can offer to her - find an instructor! If she doesn't already have experience with the instrument she might find it quite a challenge to get started. An instructor can remove a speed bump before it turns into a road block.

I agree, had the same trouble with my bodhran playing

I've found it to be great when trying to figure out a tune, where I can get most of it, but get hung up on a certain part and I don't have the time (wish I did) to figure it out.
