Ross Holmes Part 1

Tyler Andal is a bow maker in Nashville, Tennessee, and a fantastic fiddler who's played with Fireball Mail, Future Man, and has played the Grand Ole Opry, and recently won the Smithville Fiddlers' Jamboree. Maggie met him at a fiddle contest when she was 10 and they've been friends ever since. Maggie talks with Tyler about how a bow is made, and he has a unique answer for the difference between a Violin and a Fiddle. Afterward, we head to his workshop for a rehair of Maggie's bow. This is one to watch if you can: there's a lot of beautiful material to see.
