Yes, I know that fiddlers have several tuning options but I wonder how they manage to go from one to the other.

Being that the piano player is such a great musician maybe I could ask him to transpose to a key of G !!

NV   I won't know just how bad it will be until I rehearse with the piano which probably will happen in the next few weeks.  I'm sure it will be interesting.

Yay, I was helpful! amuse

I was at a fiddle festival last year, and a gal tuned her instrument differently between songs. I think it will work. A second violin would make it a bit easier (faster), though.

Yay Sara! You gave Oliver an excuse to get another violin. clap

Have to stay low profile here because my latest violin is only a couple weeks old and the wife is watching for the credit card statement like a hawk.

You don't have a Secret Fiddle Fund somewhere for all the loose change in the couch cushions, stray pennies on the ground, lottery winnings etc??????

No, but I play the lottery a lot.

(I think we should not be chatting in this non-chat area.  The violin police do enforce some regulations now and then.)
