Thread Name: Fiddle & Violin Methods
Subject: RE: Fiddle & Violin Methods
I learned classical style but then switched to folk after a ten year gap. However, I also didn't use perfect technique ie hold the bow halfway up because the balance feels better to me when getting rhythm. I joke that I could offer workshops for fiddlers on how to get a good sound using any method you like but the 'right' one. My message is use whatever technique works best but try a few.

Cheers
