I actually play a bit of fiddle music on my DB, I was chasing the music for Orange Blossom Special but (you know me) lost the sight that I'd tracked down. I play an arrangement of Sally Goodin' that I developed myself and do that 'fiddle chord thing' in G around the octave harmonics. I think it's a good sound and easy to do, though double bowing is tough (like they do on OBS). I also worked out a 'harmonics' arrangement of Turkey in the Straw, but haven't got around to practising it up... too busy working on that cello suite no 1.
