Thanks, I am fiddling ignorant.  I will try chords.

Yup Uncle. I love the chord sound of the two strings bowed together. It makes a good drone.

Comment by Uncle John on May 31, 2019 at 1:41am

Lovely to watch and hear.     A mighty pretty fiddle.  Nice rounded finger board.   

Dave are you purposely playing 2 strings at once part of the time and kind of chording?

Hi Matthew. Yes, this cello like method of play. WC Fields position. You can build one a long neck if you wish. Leave me room on the headstock fo two tuners. I like two strings so I can make the two string harmonies. I’m glad you like the Smokers. It sounds good I think. I’ll be playing her till you are ready for the swap. :D)

When I play it sounds like i’m Stretching something I shouldn’t Smiling. Finger nails on a blackboard to add rhythm. :*)

It sure looks lovely, and the sound is great. Are you planning to play the one I build for you this way? if so I will make it a longer scale so you can play it in this style. Please let me know. It sure sounds great when you play it

The cover to this video looks like you're painfully stretching something that shouldn't be stretched sir!

Very pleasant picking too.
