I was knocked out ( not literally) by the delivery of my Fiddle Edge yesterday. It looks absolutely amazing, of course, and the sound is like no other resonator I have ever played. It has the spider cone fitted and has come set up with 16-59 strings in open C. As others have pointed out, it has great sustain and warmth. It's not easy to describe sound - it feels very textured. It seems to have an extra dimension than the single cone NRP I have been playing over the last few years. Comparing the two is a bit like comparing a two dimensional picture to one of three dimensions. There seems to be more depth with the Fiddle Edge.
It's very early days. I am going to try some different tunings - maybe to a minor chord, later on. See what the guitar requires of me.
I have to say also, that the act of buying this guitar has added greatly to my pleasure in receiving it. Michael doesn't know me from Adam, but in the course of the purchase he has offered invaluable advice and guidance. Without wishing to be presumptuous, it has felt more like buying a guitar from friend than anything else.
Plus all the extras - bottleneck, strings,the excellent new cd. A quality purchase all round!

Thank you David, your kind words are very much appreciated and are for me what makes it all worthwhile.
Enjoy your guitar and do al the experimenting with tunings and strings that you can. It is the way to find your own voice with your music.
My best wishes,
Shine On
Michael

Hi David, If my little grey cells are working correctly I think this may have been what got you thinking about C tuning and heavy strings. If not, here you go.... Shine On Michael |
