The bottom two strings are steel at the moment Tony, the top two are gut. I think the National Trust are talking about making it all gut shortly 👍

A wonderful morning spent playing the Gregg fiddle, once played by #RobertBurns
Thank you to the National Trust for Scotland in allowing me the time to get to know it.
The next time I’ll have it in my hands will be on stage at Carnegie Hall #NYC 🎉❤️🇺🇸 on 5th April for the ‘Hoolie in New York’

Image shows a sketch of a farmer bent over digging potatoes, entitled "3 ACRES + A COW - A HISTORY OF LAND RIGHTS + PROTEST IN FOLK SONG + STORY".

Duncan sits against a white backdrop with a geometric design of circles in varying sizes. He has dark hair & stubble, wears a dizty print shirt, and gazes intensely to camera whilst holding his fiddle vertically infront of him.

Sam stands in what appears to be a dilapidated old warehouse. He has short sandy coloured hair & stubble, and wears a casual dark shirt with sleeves rolled up. He smiles warmly whilst cradling his fiddle to the right side of his body.

Spiers & Boden stand infront of a window in a whitewashed corridor, both wearing dark coloured jackets and gazing towards the ceiling. In the foreground, Spiers leans his back against the wall, holding his melodeon at waist height. Behind him, Boden leans his elbow against the wall, holding his bow at a jaunty angle.
