Hi kitaro1007! I'm actually from Cape Breton (grew up in Port Hood between Mabou and Judique) . You definitely have the feeling down ^_^ I'm not a fiddle player myself, but growing up around it and my fiancee being one, I must say I'm very happy to hear a Cape Breton fiddler from another part of the world :)
It's really not bad! You've definitely got some things going for you, you're getting the style down, your transitions could use some work, but once you get into the habit or using the ornaments in cape breton style like drones and trills it'll sound wonderful! Keep working hard :)
Straighten your wrist, if you keep it bent you run the risk of being out of tune and getting carpol tunnel which can not be fixed with out surgery. Also surgery results for carpol tunnel are extremely poor and generally ruin your hands.
What are the names of the tunes? Awesome stuff!

@akm5176 Thank you for your advice. I am used to hold the fiddle like this but I know it's my bad habit.
