So, you learn to play the violin - but maybe you also play the piano (maybe other instruments, too)... can you perform both, easily? 

Well, free up your hands & jaw!

Now I see the benefit of using some of the hands-free straps/strings/gadgets used to hold a fiddle up!  Come to think of it, this could make it easier to sing while playing the fiddle (Playing SONG Covers Thread).  

🤔... the Viper suddenly has more appeal to me, but there's no way 'I' could wear/play one comfortably.   Everette Scott Ortiz seems to have this figured out!  

 

I can't find where we've talked about some of the strap devices available to play fiddle hands free (know it's somewhere). 

Violin strap harness - everyone has a bootlace laying around! 

 

How the neck and shoulder straps work on my fiddle (Steve Blake). 

 

Mia Asano tries the HANDS FREE Violin strap.
