Captain,
Amongst the oldest traditional fiddlers I have seen in WV, the position preferred by classically trained violin players is the exception rather than the rule.
Neither of the fiddlers in the video clip would have attracted a second glance at Glenville, for example.
Check out any of the Lester McCumbers videos on Youtube.
A number of the hottest young WV traditional fiddlers also include one or more chest positions in their repertoire.
