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:
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?
