Great Grandpa
Henry Good's Fiddle
 |
My great Grandfather
was a skilled musician yet he favored the fiddle, seen here held
by his brother. They played barn dances all over the place and
were quite well known apparently. Before my grandmother passed
away, she gave me his fiddle. It's in rough shape, but it's a
true family heirloom and I'm sure that I get my love of bluegrass
from his roots.
My Grandmother was
great organ player, she thrilled the bowling alleys of Ft. Wayne
with her amazing tunes, all learned by ear. Music runs in my
family. I play the banjo and it's my bass that is featured above
in the logo. Just recently my own daughter has taken up the fiddle
and I think my great Grandpa would love it if she had his fiddle
some day.

Does
anyone know much about an old fiddle? I know that he played this up
to his death in 1936. It had some work done to it about 30 years ago
but it's fallen into disrepair again. There is no bridge at the moment,
but I'm thinking of getting it refurbished...
The bow
is has an ivory frog with shell inlay. However, someone has cut off
the hair.
Please email me personally
at: Sherri@IndianaBluegrass.com if you have any information about this fiddle...
I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!!!
