  • well played. I learn classical violin but when I hear music this, played well then I start thinking about learning some bluegrass. You sound great.

  • Hi Brian,

    Thanks for the encouraging comments. Fiddling is lots of fun. Mira is mainly a classical violinist but fiddling is a way to just have fun. You should definitely give it a try. See if there are some old time fiddlers in your area. They're unfailingly encouraging & supportive.

    Best,

    Barbara Phillips (Mira's mom)

  • My next contest is this weekend! lol I have my fiddle here in my lap and it won't leave my side. I take it she won this class? Her waltz timing is very good, I loved it all! Great stuff :)

  • You're so kind! (This is Mira's mom.)

    Actually, Mira didn't even make it into the final round. Although she sounds great, she doesn't have the exact Texas-style sound that the judges like. Also, Mira is 9 and her age group (Junior Junior) includes 9 to 12 year olds. Not surprisingly, the 12-year-olds are even more accomplished.

    Best of luck with your contest! What tunes are you planning to play?

  • can I ask what the make/model of your violin is? I want to buy a new one and am looking around...the sound from yours is beautiful!

  • Thanks for the compliment! The violin is a standard student instrument - a Gliga from Romania, 3/4 size, with Pirastro Tonica strings and a good pernambuco bow.

    Good luck with your search. The best thing is to find a good shop or luthier to do business with.
