Fiddle Practice Notes from Nov. 4, 2025

Nov. 4, 5:29 pm

Great session with Lora today; I could hardly stay on the right strings, and I'm bending the strings all over the place when I play, so Lora and I checked my bridge position--it wasn't really in the right place, so I fixed that, and I also sanded the E side down a little and notched the E a little deeper, and that seems to have had some good effect. Lora suggests I spend some time on "Here Comes the Bride" exercise for ringy threes and tonalizations, and I'll add that to my "To Do" list for the retreat, which I'll be at tomorrow and through the weekend. I also emailed the great Bob at Homewood Music to see if he's going to be in the shop on Monday, and if he is, I'll swing by on my way to returning to the airport.
