STRING INSTRUMENTS

Violin/Fiddle
Last Updated: 5/21/04

Since fiddle playing is merely the difference in how the instrument is played, I will only indicate in the comment portion of an entry that the musician plays "Fiddle" when they have indicated that they are not classically trained or specializes in the style. Otherwise, I think it is safe to assume that if a classically trained violin player sees a "Fiddle" part in their music, that the musician will inherently understand the sylistic difference in how it should be played.

The people listed below are people with whom I have worked or been exposed to at some time in my past. They are persons I would consider using for shows, operas or gigs I am conducting. Of course, the higher the level, the more that is expected of them, but also the more they expect to be paid; you get what you pay for. I make no guarantees on any of them, I just know how they performed for me or requested to be listed. For definitions of the various levels, CLICK HERE.
