brioc	Tuning a Fiddle (51* d)	RE: Tech: TUNING A FIDDLE	09 Aug 05
That has been fascinating indeed. I am not particularly a novice, I have just never before had a BRAND new fiddle in my hands. Where I have had to mount the bridge, rosin and tighten the bow and tighten to tune the strings!! I played the fiddle as a youngster for quite a few years, and since then have played mandolin and whistle. So there y'are. I have actually managed to tune her nicely. And now my question is : how taught should the bow actually be? Does it need lots of rosin to start off? Cos what I would have thought to have been my "normal" stroke , is producing no sound!!******??????????
