I want to play fiddle. With our method I am able to pick out melodies very easily. But the problem is that I have neck trouble and holding the fiddle under my chin is a no go. I put it in my gut but that seems to limit the mobility of my fingering hand. So I felt I needed to come up with something that would allow me to play somewhere be tween my chin and my gutt. I put on a sweatshirt and turned it around so the hood was handing from the front. I put the fiddle in there like a sack. I liked it. I went to my favorite thrift store and bought a light sweatshirt. I cut out the arms and the a lot of the bottom area. The problem was that when I put the fiddle in it it seemed to pull on my neck. Mind you this wouldn’t be a problem for the average bear but my neck has some real issues. I didn’t give up because I want to play. I then made the “fiddle holster”. I took it for a trial run last night when I went to my friends house to play a little and it went pretty well. There are a few adjustments but…I think I’ll stick with it.
