Traditional Scottish Fiddle Tunes -Played on the viola

[isabellanakahara]

Thanks! Yeah, it's fun to play fiddle tunes on the viola.

[anFidhlear]

Love! Hearing these tunes on the more "throaty" Viola is very cool! Would love to see more :)

[isabellanakahara]

@anFidhlear Thank you!

[vance7274]

This is an excellent example of why the world should worship violas and only tolerate violins.

A wonderful piece... well played.

[isabellanakahara]

@vance7274 - Ha ha ha.... thank you...I'm a bit biased.

I so want a viola , but I have never played and wouldnt know WAT to get as far as a maker and size , well I'm 6'2" so I imagine a 4/4 but who sales them near Mississippi ?

[QueerlyK]

Great playing :D I've been playing for 11 years and it's sometimes frustrating when I can't find good players around YouTube. But I really enjoyed listening to you. Great "viola" sound.

[isabellanakahara]

@QueerlyK - Thanks! I really love this viola and have a lot of fun playing fiddle tunes on it.

I just got my first viola (I have played guitar for 24 years). Now I know what kind of music I want to learn once I get good enough. This!

[isabellanakahara]

@Nixlplix Hey, that is great! You will have to post some videos once you get going.

[WillowPeterson]

I love the sound of this (: I've been playing viola for about 2 1/2 years now and find myself needing more challenging music. I'm in the chamber orchestra at my school. Do you have an recommendations?

[1985OldSkool]

That viola has a great sound to it.

[isabellanakahara]

@1985OldSkool - Thanks. I really like this viola. It would be really neat to here it in a couple of hundred years. lol

[isabellanakahara]

@paulflute Thank you for stopping by.  Your first viola? That's really neat! I am most t home when playing the viola. You ought to post some videos. :-)

[paulflute]

nice.. thanks for reminding of the first tune which i know form an album from my teen..

will learn tomorrow when i open mu new first viola....

very exciting...

[musicfamily]

I noticed your viola has an odd body shape. Did you make it yourself?

[isabellanakahara]

No, it was made by Thomas DeLuca. It is a baroque style. It is very comfortable to play.... and it has a really wonderful sound.

[theominnaert]

I think I've missed this two months ago, but now I've listen and it sounds beautiful

this song is soo cool! i wish i could play that good but im just begining and have only been playing for about 6 months. i hope ill one day be as good as u! ;D

5 *****!

[isabellanakahara]

Hi... thanks for listening. The design of the viola is a "baroque" design, or style. Probably 18th century. It is really comfortable to play, especially when playing in the upper positions, which I don't do too much anymore because I am learning to be a fiddler.

Just keep playing and having fun... they say that it takes about 10 years or 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. That time will pass quickly, believe it or not. Just keep playing and having fun.

:-)

[sfbonedoc]

Fun music played joyously!

[isabellanakahara]

They are indeed fun tunes, George! :-)

[fiddle4u]

This 1st tune still Mystifies me

And all about a wee sheep - lol

WOW-- jim

[isabellanakahara]

I love the Ewie with the Crooked Horn! I can just picture a big old ewe with a crooked horn(I can't remember any of our female sheep having horns, lol...but maybe some do!)

It's a fun little tune...

[isabellanakahara]

I do seem to be literally bouncing up and down some! lol!!!! I am sitting on one of those large exercise balls! LOL!!!

Oh well.... :-)

[Linuxica]
