Just wanna drop in and say that your rendition of ievan polkka that you posted on your channel last year, was absolutely stunning! Keep on playing Lassi! Hej from Ribe, Denmark!🤗

Sounds amazing, both the playing and the instrument!

I'm trying to learn to play. I have been playing along with a tuner, trying to find and remember correct fingerings, and then stringing those notes together; this method has been largely unsuccessful in producing pleasant sounding compositions.

More recently, I've started just copying you - practicing one set of fingerings and strokes until it feels fluid, and then trying to link it together with the next technique. I can't describe in any formal way what I'm playing, but the tunes finally sound pretty.

Thanks for continuing to upload.
