Could be just a trade fiddle but in the right hands
sounds good to my ear. All of mine sound like this
of course. *** I wish.

Could be the bow.

Wishful thinking - it's the player

Nah, it's the strings.

PS maybe we could have a whip-round and get Custy a decent camera.

A wiser man once told me, "Good strings, and a good well-haired bow." It can really bring the best out of a "lesser: fiddle.

But I agree, it is mostly in the player.
It was certainly true of my teacher.

Does anyone know if Paddy Cronin had a name for this jig?

Re: this fiddle

A tailor in the title does sound catchy.

But do we need this many?

Re: this fiddle

I suppose you are right.

It could have been worse -
the title might have mentoned "Paddy".
