bowed triplet (treble/birl)

[@violinsane108]

Thanks Chris. You are the first person to state that this is a DIFFICULT ornament, and I appreciate that. You do them well, though.

[@pedroxdev]

Yes! Another one of my favourite tunes. Thanks Chris!

[@johntait491]

Another tune that can be used for practicing Bowed Triplets is "Crossing the Minch" aka "McNab's Hornpipe". Nice that you mentioned Bruce McGregor. "Queen of the Fair" and "Humours of an Ennistymon" are two examples of where Bowed Triplets can be applied to jigs. 😉

You beat me to it - Crossing the Minch is the ideal workout for the birl. The touchstone is Aly Bain's recording here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3bTpXd-gs-rnrs

When pipers and flautists put a triplet-like ornament on lowest note (bell note) it's called a "cran" but I've never seen that word used about fiddling. Anyway, thanks for yet another great tutorial. I'm bingewatching, and I'm not a fiddler but a whistler 😀

Hi Petter. I've heard of one or two fiddlers referring to the cran, I think as a type of roll on an open string, but it's not a common fiddle thing.

[@lochlannlads2392]

@@TheFiddleChannel Might be a transfer from pipers' lingo. It makes sense, though, since it'll involve three different quick "notes" above the open string / bell note. I'll ask our fiddler if he's familiar with it.

Brilliant...

[@johnmessenger4351]

Thanks Chris. I've been trying to learn Shetland Rose by Esko Järvelä and getting nowhere. He's an excellent fiddler but too fast for me to hear what he's doing with the triple notes.

You're welcome!

Hi Chris I just heard some Button Accordion player did that type of ornament or something like it

Aha Ty Chris

Thanks. I went to see if my cat was ok but it's your cat. LOL
