I played one fiddle competion in Rhinelander WI once. It was pretty lame. There was n't hardly anybody. I was wondering where some more might be and how one could get in contact with them. I will most likely get my bum kicked but I would like to try.
Anyone know what pickup Martin HAyes uses? It's very unobtrusive, fits on his bridge, and is linked to a radio transmitter he carries. Martin Hayes is currently playing an 18c fiddle, I believe.

Sorry, it appears that last post of mine mysteriously "walked" from the thread about fiddle pickups. I'll re-post it now.

Winfield Kansas has the Walnut Valley festival. Here's the webpage with information, but it is old time fiddle not ITM:

Well, you just missed this one, but I'm sure it will be scheduled again next year.
