For my birthday my wife got me a fiddle. It’s an instrument I’ve always wanted to play ever since I was a child.

It’s simultaneously an easy instrument with incredibly difficult technique. Having a ton of fun with it.

I hope I’m not annoying her too bad πŸ˜…

@mykie grabs ear muffs. LoL 🎻🀣

Oh and happy birthday.

Should have got a viole de gamba

Fiddle with frets strung like a guitar 🎸

If guitarist knew this, there would probably be a lot more players

the fretless part isn't the part i struggled with. it's getting a clean, non-screechy tone with the bow. you have a beginning violinist's tone inches from your right ear. it's quite loud. :)

@paul_ipv6 @AccordionBruce @skyfire747 Same struggle as me. The left hand is pretty easy but that bow is a whole new world for me. I have no skills that transfer
