I played violin, that's close enough to a fiddle, and at 0:50 the girl should have her jaw in that little black chin rest or else her neck will severely hurt.

@zordzilla

There are times when I would agree with you but not in this case. These kids play extremely well together.

lol the chord of death :)

[zordzilla]

why does anyone ever think it's a good idea to have loads of fiddles playing in unison, it almost always sounds like cack!! These players are all talented but lets hear them individually.

Good music, and they know their stuff already, but who's the moron had a single harp, not even metal strung, play with no less than 5 fiddles? I canna bludie hear it.
