Trepak // A Pochette A Day

After spending my childhood in ballet class, Tchaikovsky’s music for The Nutcracker seems a natural part of Christmas. I wondered how it might sound on the Pochette. Now we know.

A super instrument....and so well played!

Thanks so much!

[@StephanieClaussen]

I love the energy you put into it! So fun.

[@JoannaJohnsonScottishFiddler]

Thanks! 😃

[@gregmonks]

I've been looking for one of there forever but didn't know the right questions to ask. And there you are, playing one!

[@JoannaJohnsonScottishFiddler]

I got mine on ebay. If you look up Song Pochette you'll find them.

@@JoannaJohnsonScottishFiddler I was just looking at them on eBay. The best one I've heard was here on KZbin, made by a company with a name something like Godet. Incredible sound.

@@gregmonks nice! I should look into that!

What size violin bow should you use on the Pochette? Is there a particular size?

[@JoannaJohnsonScottishFiddler]

I'm trying to remember. I think I got a 1/4 size bow.

@@JoannaJohnsonScottishFiddler I'm thinking of getting one of these Song Pochette Violins for Christmas this year. I plan on fitting a pickup on it to amplify it and run it through effects. I also plan on recording an album with it, too!

[@JoannaJohnsonScottishFiddler]

@@Teddyrockstheworld1 that sounds fun. I would be very interested in hearing that album!

[@sarahspector5294]
