www.carbonfiberviolin.com 10 time bluegrass fiddle champ Michael Cleveland shares his thoughts after playing a carbon fiber fiddle for the first time and then plays The Gardenia Waltz.
Heard Mike and Bobby Hicks play this waltz in a hotel room in Louisville once. Just two fiddles for almost 90 minutes... well, not 'just any'' two fiddles!
I've heard Michael play his own version of Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption" on the fiddle. He was just messing around, but damn.... he's fast and extremely creative. He doesn't follow any traditional rules, that's for sure.
That's true, yet he is also capable of hewing closely to classic fiddle style. Here's a great example I just found:czcams.com/video/NycvImNtbE0/video.html
Thanks Michael for posting this video. I also was surprised when I played one of those graphite violins last year. Wasn't expecting it to be as good as it turned out to be. And nice arrangement of Gardenia Waltz. Thanks again!
Reminds me of that review I saw for the carbon fiber electric guitar with amp, for 200... solid construction, good sound, full size... I bought a parlor guitar for traveling around, it sounds good but the fret board is too small for my fingers. Wood is good, but it's like a pool cue... there are some advantages with technology that you can't deny.
These fiddles can't be too expensive... I wonder if Michael is just endorsing for now? The fiddle sounds good and all, but Michael is one highly-advanced player who seems like he would be more comfortable with a classic..... dunno
You used the word fiddle instead of violin, but you think it needs to be expensive to be good... go back to where this music started, and start over. You missed something.
@@commontater8630 the comment says it's not a good fiddle, you're saying it's just not the best and he would not pick it as #1. It's not about if it's the best fiddle, it's an affordable, good fiddle, that Michael would play, if he wanted to. On the road or something.
The Madman holy 💩. I understand the sentiment though, I go to RockyGrass a lot and always have to bring my crappy guitar because it has to sit in the tent all day.
It is a blessing to see someone do what they were born to do.
I get chills every time I hear him play.
Michael could make a plastic one sound good. Simply the best.
I saw you on the Jerusalem ridge vid
He could make fishing line on a stick sound great!!
One of the best lines I've seen in a long time! Thank you!
Ain't that the truth? ❤️❤️❤️ 😄
Beautiful tune Michael! You're right - that fiddle sounds great, and you played it very well.
Hi Michael, you are "the BEST" I congratulate your accomplishment. Those that have heard your "FIDDLE PLAYIN" have been blessed.
What a sweet melodic tune played by the best! He is just so smooth with his bow.
he's nailing the double stops !
Michael, I am a huge fan all the way from Texas! Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with us. Love it!

Love your music Michael
This is my first time hearing Michael playing a song at less than 750 bpm.
With perfect intonation ;-)

Haha
Nice to hear him playing something that shows how well he plays, rather than how fast he can play for a change. Great job.
You know Michael kills it with the ladies!
Yeah, you probably do too, as soon as they find out about your sharp keyboarding skills.

perfect music for hot summer days spent on the porch scratching your pelotas
Everything I see from this fellow is 10/10 wow. Amazing.
It's so beautiful, I'm crying and getting chills at once!
I’m a huge Fan and love to hear you play!
You two are exceptional!
Absolutely beautiful

He's got a lot of awards in the background.
mouth breathing awards
omg don't be a judgmental dick! Go listen to your cool rap country...Hes an amazing talent that is far and few between these days.
He's been fiddler of the year 10 times i think, maybe more by now
@@bitenbronze1 he's a million times more successful than you'll ever be, loser.
I love the GE refrigerator 😍
una musica che arriva dritta nell'anima
I guess he really liked it. He should buy one!

not one comment for the geeeetarrrr? luvving the strummin too my friend!
Amazing ...i wish i could play the any instrument at all just half as good....
Cool man.
He is good.
Im not the biggest fiddle fan but Michael plays incredibly
Imagine downvoting this video. Also that's a badass fridge.
Imagine calling a dislike button downvote
I mean they’re pretty much the same thing. So this reply is useless
Aww yeah it’s got that high and lonesome Hank/Vassar/Chubby Wise kinda sound🎻
1:10 Gardenia Waltz
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
👍
Please give me the name of the man playin the guitar>
What's the name of the song you play here it's really nice
Hope you figured it out by now, it's in the video title.
I'd rather hear him play this than the lightning fast stuff.........but he's good, no matter what he plays.
When I know I’ve intellectually won an argument, I play Michael and dare others to challenge it
Weird.
andai aku punya duit untuk membeli biola bagus ini
Lol that looks like my violin!
Майкл, ты нарочно вносишь ошибки?

@@alanmalcheski8882 Setting the question of money aside, I don't think this is the ideal fiddle for Michael and I doubt he thinks so either.
@@commontater8630 it's not about how good Michael is, it's about whether it's a good fiddle or not.
@@alanmalcheski8882 That's what I said. So...?

Bobby Hicks version is the best..
$6K for that 5 string....WOW....Rather make one myself!...Sounds great tho

He's blind. LOL at you......

Both players here are blind. And Micheal the fiddle player is also partially deaf. So.
