Title: Matthias getting an understudy / friend!
Post by: CWazyTom on July 11, 2016, 04:19PM
I figured I'd create a separate topic for this since it's kind of huge news (well, granted, a lot of us have known for a while that something was coming).

Máiréad getting a new violin / fiddle to share the load with Matthias, her well-traveled 17th century companion.

Matthias' new understudy / friend will be 9/8, according to Máiréad.

More info soon!

On a side-note, I would find it quite amusing if Matthias and the new understudy violin alternated 6 weeks on, 6 weeks off while on tour.

Ooooo, maybe I should also start a fiddle timeline right away (so I don't have to go back and dig up all the info 10 years from now). :P   Hahaha!

Yes.

To be clear though, she's not "dumping" Matthias or anything.

She's just going to give Matthias a bit of a breather from time to time. Matthias is not as young as he used to be and he's had a lot of exercise recently.  ;)
