Hi everyone! Recording work is in full swing and I’ve restrung my Grandfather’s violin to make it sound like a viola so that I can add some darker harmony parts! This basically means that I remove the highest of the strings, the E, move all the strings along to the right and add a deeper sounding C string! I do love this violin and it’s wonderful to be able to use it in the studio. I used it once before on my track, ‘Scenes From a Cornish Childhood’. If only I could have heard my Grandfather play it…! At least my Dad used to play it to me and he played it so beautifully too. Thanks so much everyone, I’ll report back on progress soon! xxx
