HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ROTFLMFAO to show how ridiculous your point is, fiddle players can't play in the different positions on the fiddle most bring to fiddles to the gig 1. standard tuned 2. tuned down. Secondly most vocalist can't sing in different keys so the they stick with the two basic keys. Thirdly the guitar player will have to learn different chords as well. And finally Cajun music today is strictly dance music. Few if any listen to the lyrics and if they do the songs by some make absolutely no sense. Finally the dance crowd could care less what key the band is playing in. So take your music theory and shove it up your ass.

It's possible to play on the fiddle on more positions :blush:
I remember it from the time one of my daughters gets violin lessons.
It's another thing, but they are positions.

If you want the original sound with you need to tune the fiddle lower for a C-accordion and normal fiddle tuning for a D-accordion.
No idea how it has to be for other accordions and when the accordion is played in one of the more complicated keys/positions. I suppose that the fiddler need to play much more so called double stops ?????

Here an example of violin positions :joy: :joy: :joy:

Of course it is Melodeon the point is most fiddle players can’t

Jerry, I know a Cajun fiddler that lives just down the road from me in the back of Gueydan that knows how to play the 1st and 2nd position on the fiddle. He recently retired from playing Cajun music and doesn't even want to talk about it with me. LOL

Thank You Melo. That video pretty much just served Jerr his own foot. How's it taste Jerr?

Remember Melo, there are more tunings for the Cajun fiddle than just DGAE and FCGD. I think, if I remember correctly, that there are like 12 more! I just looked over at my little guide sheet in a dimly lit room and I think I counted 14 total? LOL, crazy isn't it? But for some of those possible tunings, the dam strings start popping as I have very recently discovered. LOL So when that happens, I cross that particular tuning off of my list. The fiddle shop is all the way over der in Eunice, or in Lafayette at SOLA (Anya Burgess-Bon Soir Catin and Fiddle Luthier). I cant be runnin over there to get a new set of strings every time I retune to one of these lost cross tunings. Someone needs to invent a kapo for the fiddle maybe?

your ignorance of how to play a violin or fiddle is obvious who ever you are Mr. Accordion Guru
