About me

I play traditional Irish music, mostly reels and jigs, and I have been at it for about ten years.

What I like most

  • Playing in sessions
  • Slow airs, late in the evening
  • Learning tunes by ear rather than from the dots

Give me a good tune and a room with decent acoustics.

Instruments

  • Violin Standard

    My instrument

    A 1978 mahogany model, bought second-hand and played daily since.

    Setup

    • Tuning: standard
    • Strings changed every three months
    • New bridge fitted in 2024

    Nothing fancy, but it has the sound I was after.
