I ran across a version of this earlier this week on "Dulahan Irelands" youtube. Sorta based what I did here on that. Heres a little presonus project for it I made.

Just heavenly, GregW - really enjoying the slower airs!

...it's my trigger for "back to vibrato", though.

Nice one @Gregw - love that traditional piece, TY !

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -

Thanks everyone!

I got the repeats mixed up a bit. Im hesitant to say anything is simple on this instrument but as they go this one may be easy by ear.. I liked the Dulahan Ireland version...celtic fiddle festival and peak fiddler have great ones too. All with vibrato and ornaments.. here is a sheet music link.

Very cool Greg. Nice job with the panning. I really started to like it when the second violin kicked in.

Thank you John! Ive been working recording that one a few more times since then..worked out some intonation and shakey bowing I wasnt happy with. Its enjoyable. shines big light on stuff to work on..
