I LOVE the ol' style of the fiddle resting against the chest as opposed to being propped up by the players chin!
combined with the white beard, this guy looks like a classic ol' time fiddler!
great tune!

@edwar101 Doesnt really make much diffference if your playing in first position i believe.
-
@truprice If you always play on the chest, you can take the chinrest off, which (I think) give the fiddle a better sound; plus it's more authentic!

@Fusion2222 Try "The Fiddler's Fake Book", but like the man says, the best way to learn it is by listening to your grandpappy. I think TFFB is published by Oak Publications. Nice playing truprice!

It's been years since I've step danced, but today, you got my old feet moving!
St. Anne's Reel is one of my favorites; you do it awesome justice! Thank you for sharing, and for getting this old gal steppin' again!

Do you use A 3/4 size fiddle or are you just tall? The reason I ask is because I am 6'1" and can barely hold my 4/4 size violin on my chest with any stability. Even then It's uncomfortable for my hand. I'm classical but kind of want to get into some fiddling too. Anyway, Great playing!

I'm 5' 9" , and it is a full size fiddle. Close up, looks exactly like Ole Bull's Guarnerius. I catch my left thumb at the end of the keyboard, right around the nut so my thumb touches the G string on the fiddlehead side of the nut. Over the years I've worn a grove there, so that the close end of the peg box on the G side comes up to a knife edge, and the neck is somewhat thinner at the far end (just from playing, nothing artificial!), perhaps making it a little easier to grab.

Wait, why do you hold the fiddle at the chest and not the chin?

1) it's easier
2) I can hear other musicans
3) I can sing loudly
4) It doesn't hurt
etc.

Thank you! - Monmouth, Oregon. Grew up in the hills of Southern Oregon making blind stabs at trying to fiddle like my uncle back in the mountains of Cherokee County Georgia. Got better at when I lived in Waiteville WVA / Blacksburg VA in the early 70's. website trumanpricedotcom
