If someone is a true " folk fiddler" then he or she may well hold the bow in an unorthodox manner. However, most traditional fiddlers who have received any form of tuition will likely still opt for the classical hold. There are many excellent players who like to do it their own way but even they wouldn't necessarily recommend this for everyone. It would probably be a case of "Don't do as I do but do what I tell you..." :-)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhNyshKXTTY :-))
