Yep, I play fiddle as well. Over the years I've played it in Southern Rock and country bands and at church, but mostly I play Irish/Celtic and southern Old Time (pre-bluegrass, before the 1940s). Of all the instruments I play, fiddle was the hardest for me to get a good sound from. I've been told it takes a least a year to get a passable musical tone, and though I've been playing 30 years, there are days that I'm not sure I've reached that mark yet. That being said, fiddle music is sad, beautiful, energetic, aggressive, happy, intense and light hearted (I'm sure I missed other descriptors, but you get the point). I am just now starting to differentiate between the various celtic styles. Love how much there is to learn and discover!
