GUEST,strad | intonation in fiddle music (55* d) | RE: intonation in fiddle music | 20 Jan 09 |
Perhaps the sound of not being in tune especially when playing two strings at once has sommething to do with our long exposure to the well-tempered clavier concept. If I e.g. play an open E together with a C# on the A string, I find I have to flatten the C# just a tiny bit for it to sound in tune to me. That's the joy of playing the fiddle - you can do things like that. But I also find that a lot of fiddlers just don't hit the right note with me, but I'm a grumpy old fart. |
