Hi, y'all
I live in the Ozark Mountains, at Arkansas, near to Mountain View. There is a very active music scene around here, though not much of it is the traditional, old-time music of the Ozarks, which is all I play. We meet down-town every week on a Tuesday for a pickin' circle, and every Thursday for a square-dance. Square-dances include waltzes, two-steps, and jig-dancing, all of which are traditional.
I have several, but carry one fiddle in standard tuning, and one in broken A - AEae. Both get used during a night's playing, as cross-tuning is very common in the traditional music. Used to play the banjo, too, but fiddle is all nowadays.
