The bass clarinet almost sounds like a cello n this setting. What great combo of players.

[@josefbruckner7154]

Playing the bass clarinett in the Quartet is really a good idea.

[@serenalittle9252]

Ever since I heard of them I've thought there's just something so special about that clarinet that adds something so lovely to their sound

[@timoconnor2866]

Thanks for this. Very very refreshing. Tim

[@Mitch_Feral]

This is tremendous stuff.

[@johnbrewins6227]

The slow air is Easter Snow.

[@parilant]

Sorry, I forgot about the reel after 'Beare Island'. I don't know the title of the last reel. Martin

Hey is that a hardanger fiddle or what?This is so calming and soothing to me at this time in my life.

[@erikm8372]

It’s a violin.

[@erikm8372]

Liz is playing a viola d’amour (or amore?)

[@JustFiddler]

i hear the sounds.of javanese :)

[@davestambaugh7282]

I don't think that it is a viola. I think it is a hardanger but since it has ten strings it is both a violin and a viola.

[@anthonypepitoneVideo]

It is a hardanger fiddle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardanger_fiddle

[@davestambaugh7282]

@@anthonypepitoneVideo But since it has strings tuned to E,A,D,G and C it has all of the notes that both violins ans violas have.

[@williwacker2774]

@@davestambaugh7282 It's called Hardanger D'Amore. The five bowed strings are vionlin strings + low viola C indeed.

[@Watermelon_cat-ro6qc]

I've played that fiddle before. Liz Knowles is an incredible and incredibly kind person.

[@serenalittle9252]

This is so utterly healing 💚
