@Jols -

I enjoyed the photos AND your Party participation! 

Does it sound any different in tone, or feel different playing (compared to your own violin)?

It's been a minute! I created this YouTube playlist to save any videos I made with The Traveler (not a lot, just two including my party video haha) >> The Traveler Videos with Jols

I also took her to the Roswell Farmers Market near the city hall last weekend.  After several days of rain, it was nice to enjoy some warm weather.  Scroll down further to see pictures!

@ELCBK - Thank you! And yes, I noted some differences between the Traveler and my own violin. I play a 7/8 violin using a very flat chinrest, so it took me a while to get used to her size.  I ended up swapping the chinrests (temporarily) because my neck hurt from using the higher chinrest.  Her tone sounds a little brighter as well.  I prefer a warmer tone on the violin but I thought she sounded amazing when I took her to Wernick Jam camp.  She plays very well with other instruments. 

@Fiddlerman - yay, thank you for the badge!  

@Kennon - I've had The Traveler for almost a month now, so I'm checking in to see if you are ready to host her?

@Jols - 

Must seem like playing a viola after being used to a 7/8th size! 😄

Great idea with the playlist - 💖 your playing & the photos!

@Jols Great pics & videos!  YouTube channel is good idea smile

You mention on the YouTube channel that you've been to Scor! Alumni here!  It's great, isn't it?  I'm in central GA; been to the one in Tennessee once, & Atlanta 3 times (last time was in 2020--right before the Covid lockdowns--the last "on the road" Scor!)

Great job hosting the Traveler!

Hey everyone,

Is there anyone interested in hosting the Fiddle that has not yet spoken about it?
