Nobody knows it better than Ms. Brittany Haas!

Aren’t some of these (not all, of course) aspects dependent on phrasing or the shaping of a note vs. the actual tone produced by both bow and the noting hand? Just curious…

Brittany ,Caitlin Canty's Recording King guitar sent me on a long trail that brought me here. While I'm here I might as well say I borrowed one of the most fantastic Mountain gospel bluegrass fiddles from the Appalachians. At the time it was probably between 120 to 150 yrs old. It sat in the case a very long time bridge broke collapsed, I carefully put it all back then when you played it it was nothing but complete Awesome , it had the power to take an average person to make them into a great violin player.... I know ,I know we see violins that run about 200. bucks all the time ,but some of them are 30-50 -120 250 thousand dollars .of course we're not going to talk about a Stradivarius.. I self-taught myself a some interesting pieces but after 2-1/2 years the owner asked for it. The honest person I am simply handed it over to them ouch... 30 - 50,000 value easily, I've been in history, Antiquities for most of my life... I would have gave it to Brittany because I know her passion is genuine and that is hard to fake.

Thanks Brittany ... You might sound like Charley McCoy or Buddy Greene ... can you guess my instrument ? 😎 Everyone can improve with a good lesson on tone. I like experimenting tonally with long string of the same note ... or taking the lyrics into consideration ... I like happy lyrics with a sad score .. His Eye is on the Sparrow comes to mind. I enjoyed my time in the Alamo HOOT club ... a wide variety of abilities with comradery. Admiring some while helping others. Thanks for the help Brittany !!

You talking about Darol Anger? Him and Dan Gellert need to have a goofy music-face stand off.
