Have you always wanted to play the fiddle? You’re never too old to start! This class is for people with no experience on the instrument. It will require the purchase of certain supplies (in addition to a fiddle, in good playing condition) before classes begin. These include:
Have you always wanted to play the fiddle? You’re never too old to start! This class is for people with no experience on the instrument. It will require the purchase of certain supplies (in addition to a fiddle, in good playing condition) before classes begin. These include:
- a patented fingerboard marker called “First Frets”, which you will need to place on your fiddle. No worries! It isn’t difficult! They will be available in the CGOTH store.
- a shoulder rest or a soft sponge to attach to the underside of your fiddle.
- a bow with fairly fresh (no more than a year old) hair. We can help with referrals for repairs in your area
- rosin
- a clean, smooth, soft rag for cleaning the instrument...something like an old cotton tea shirt or handkerchief.

Old-Time Fiddle
Take this opportunity to learn from Sammy Lind, simply put, “the old-time fiddler of his generation” whose tone and voice are as old as the same hills that gave birth to this music. Both the fiddler and banjo player of the Foghorn Stringband, Sammy’s energy is contagious in the classroom. You will emerge from this class with new tunes, bowings and a deeper understanding of the nature of old-time fiddling. Skill Level B/C Period 3 ~ Sammy Lind
