Tripping Up the Stairs on Baritone Fiddle and Pochette
Don Rickert of Rickert & Ringholz and Darci Jones of Hooley and Fiddarci Lutherie play a jig on baritone (octave) fiddle and the new Adventurer Travel Fiddle (a pochette). Dr. Rickert never practices and he takes full responsibility for ALL bum notes, weird chords and creative timing. :-)
Yet Another Drowsy Maggie on Baritone Fiddle and Pochette
Yeah, it may be over-done, but Drowsy Maggie always gets a lot of hits...plus this one has a baritone fiddle playing true second fiddle (not just the tune an octave lower) to a modern pochette, also known as a backpacker fiddle. Don Rickert (of Rickert & Ringholz) and Darci Jones (of Hooley and Fiddarci Lutherie) playing. As with all videos in which Dr. Don appears, all the flat notes, just plain wrong notes and strange chords are his contribution...a side-effect of chronic lack of practice....
Demo of Carleen Pochette prototype
This fiddle has all sorts of proprietary internal porting and only one sound hole. The soundpost is adjusted through a 'trap door' on the back. It is primarily an R&D project and many aspects will become part of the new Backpacker fiddle. The 'Carleen' is a tribute to Dr. Carleen Hutchins, whose research yielded many discoveries related to porting stringed instruments.
Kelli Trottier's March - My First Fiddle Composition
A tune I wrote for Kelli ( a great Canadian fiddler and singer) after she gave great fiddlin and singing workshops in Wheatley River, PEI two summers ago. She had torn ligaments and lost her voice but carried on like a trooper, hence she deserved a march!

Slow, Chordal Tune to Demo New Octave Fiddle
Tune to showcase how the new Rickert & Ringholz/Fiddarci Lutherie Octave Violin performs on all four strings. A big sub-woofer on your end might be a good idea. Made by Rickert & Ringholz and Fiddarci Lutherie. Available at www.fiddleandbowstore.com
Darci Jones Playing Neil Gow Pochette
We're not sure about either the name or origin (Scots or Irish) of this slow reel, or march, but it's a really cool tune that will give you goose bumps. Remember, this is being played on a 3 inch wide historic pochette replica
