I thought you guys might like this. His playing of " Cripple Creek " is my new benchmark for that tune.

Sounds great, how about a post on the instrument itself.

I didn't build that fiddle, but thanks anyway. Built by Jeff Menzies , known primarily for gourd banjos

That's cool, I'd just like to see how it's built.

Sabastiaan, In Aussie Penelope Swales makes gourd instruments. Not much on how she does it.

Cool. You could easily define that sound as earthy.
