An inexpensive way to explore fiddling around, August 21, 2005
This review is from: Learn To Play The Appalachian Fiddle Package
Not a bad way to explore the fiddle if you are very sensitive to price. The video is privately produced by Lark in the Morning. Nothing fancy, but it covers the basic technique and includes several pieces to learn and is really quite helpful.
The violin is about what you'd expect for the price. It's helped enormously by changing to a better set of strings and a bit more by upgrading to a better bow and rosin. You will probably also want to get a shoulder rest - even a $6 one.
The case is adequate but has no room for a shoulder rest.
If you're new to bowed instruments, you will find it frustrating to rosin up the bow enough at first - but hang in there!
