GUEST,Mason Brown | Folk Music and the Viol (19) | RE: Folk Music and the Viol | 12 Nov 08 |
There is no reason a violin couldn't be played "a gamba", in fact, a cellist friend of mine would sometimes do it. As for the people I play with, they seem to like the pardessus, or at least are polite enough not to object. One thing about it is that it is not as loud as most fiddles, so it's hard to be obtrusive in a session! It really is a beautiful instrument which it's a joy to play any kind of music on, so I encourage you to go for it! |
