And i must echo my fellows here thats a nice looking kilt and fiddle combo you have there..
I too am debating on my next kilt purchase and was considering SWK, To hear such glowing reviews after glowing reviews based on quality and price with the service, i will be calling them soon.
I don't have a Stillwater (I only have one Balmoral woollen casual - love it) but I really love the look of yours. Great choice mate!
So tell us about your fiddling. What style do you play? Scottish? Breton? Irish? I play Irish myself. Just regular "session" style though with a Donegal bent. I just love those crunchy triplets. And do tell me about your fiddle too. Auld? New? Special to you?
Again, looking really great mate!

Thanks for the kind words, everybody.. and such warm welcomes!
My fiddling style is pretty New England...gotta keep it pretty straight and steady when playing for dances; of course, it depends on what music I'm actually playing and for what venue. I find Scottish styles very challenging when it comes to bow use. The tunes I write are rather traditional infused with Irish and Scottish flavor, and would not seem out of place in Howe/Ryan. Lots of jigs, reels, waltzes, etc. One friend describes my tunes as 'having an old sound but with a bit of a modern flair.' My tunes tend to have a strong rhythmic drive and some colorful chords and modulations.
