It's tuned to open F tuning, so the G and D strings are tuned down 1 whole step, and the A and E strings are tuned down two whole steps. So GDAE > FCFC
an understated but nonetheless very evocative tune - and nicely played. I'm imagining a frosty January morning somewhere in the Great Smoky Mountains when I listen to this.
I play a viola tuned to violin tuning. GDAE. I had to run and get it and re-tune to this FCFC tuning to get this song under my fingers. Many thanks, this tuning is an eye,(and ear) opener.
This is the only way this tune has made sense to me, but I more often hear it played with the A & B reversed. Still, this is my preferred version. Hope everyone is still playing!
It's not larger, it's a regular 4/4 size. It might look big due to camera angles or something. It's an old german factory violin from the turn of the 20th century, which was then sold in a wurlitzer catalog in the states. I've had it for over 15 years, picked it up from Weaver's in Maryland in the 90s.
I don't have sheet music for this or pretty much of any of the tunes I learned on this channel, I'm sorry. If you want to commission me to do a transcription, send me a private message and we'll work something out.
Been here often over the years. Never gets old. Hauntingly beautiful. Absolutely love it.
What a beautiful haunting sound. Both compliment each other.
I would buy the CD with the two of you playing this type of music!
Love it! Makes me think of the mountains of North Carolina.
Ive never heard cold frosty morning played like this. Its really beautiful.

Very awesome sound and playing! Thank you for putting this up on YT😀
this conjures up a beautiful ancient distant world, so tasteful.
I would love it if you did a solo version. I learned Nicks banjo version and would love to play along!
This is Awesome I love love love it
Absolutely the best ever.

Wow -- beautiful music from both of you!
That was awesome!! Enjoyed that very much!! I like the way you tuned down...it sounded good that way!
Why did you stop posting? Your a lovely player! Would love to follow you on Insta! The world needs more bliss like this. 🌤️🌞
Fantastic!
Katie thanks for sharing. Wonderfully renditioned! I'm adding this one to my Christmas/ Winter playlist. I really enjoyed it. Thanks again :)
Excellent!
Thanks, I was automatically thinking in cross-tuning terms hence the two whole steps remark. Beautiful pairing between the two of you by the way.
Fabulous music that's making hair stand all over meh, thank you for sharing this.
Outstanding!!
Hey there, what tuning is the fiddle using? (Apologies if this has already been asked)
Really nice. How do you have your fiddle tuned?
Told you at the start.

I love the tone of your fiddle. It looks larger than a typical violin (probably camera tricks though), who's the maker?

Fiddle tuned down two whole steps?
In Appalachia the banjo tunes to Amod and capos 2nd fret for fiddle in A
