Annie, I'm a beginning fiddle player. Any advice I have must be taken with that in mind. In listening to Old time fiddlers, such as Tommy Jarrell, they squeak.

The way out of it might be technique. Is your bow moving perpendicular to the string? Is it straight or does it slide into different angles? Are you gripping your bow too tight?

I have problems with my E string squeaking occasionally and I have to watch the things that I described.

Sometimes, it becomes an obsession and the less attention you give it, sometimes the better it gets.
