Subject: Re: Fiddle Tunes

> Irish music is a close ancestor to American fiddle tunes, bluegrass, etc. Most Irish players are diatonic players - more

Somebody described American oldtime as "Irish music with the
hard notes taken out". (It wasn't me, honest)

> likely tremolo or octave-tuned double reed instruments, but sometimes also richter-tuned diatonics. There are a few that play chromatic but, according to both Rick Epping, who spent several years in Ireland, and to Brendan Power, they're in the minority. (those that doo use it tend to play it with the slide turned upside down, so that it plays in C# with the slide out, and dips
the pitch DOWN when the slide is pressed in). When Brendan won

This is so that the ornamentation sounds like a fiddle. It's also quite common to play with the slide held in and ornament by letting it pop out.

> the All-Ireland Championship (I think that's what it was called) they had to create a special category for chromatic because all the other players were using tremolos. I met and heard John

I believe he actually won in the "Other instruments" category. It's in the sleevenotes to "New Irish Harmonica" somewhere.

> Mark Graham I have heard only on the Kevin Burke "Full House" album (it was Brendan who turned me on to it). He was playing

He's playing in Dublin tonight.
