Hello Sir. Lucky to find your video here. Thanks. Really helpful video. I'm about to perform Tam Lin this August and really need to strengthen my triplet skill. Please advise how long it will take to master the triplet.

Scott Kinsey

That's the sound right there, alright. Thank you.

Hello Bruce. Would you be able to do a video on doing the sixteenth-note "runs" in strathspeys. They're very tricky. A video like this would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this! I just spent 3 hours trying to get a fast triplet.... Some improvement but not there yet....time for more practice!

Holy... I give up.

I am using these bowing triplets for my old time and round peak stuff. I'm a banjo player really but I'm studying fiddle as well. So yeah I'm folkie:)

billmacaulay

first time Ive had it clearly explained to me. Reading about it is no good at all . Well done that man.

Ed Ljungdahl

hey what tuning is this?

In Cape Breton they say you've got too, unless you're Ashley! Ashley MacIsaac, of course. Well now, I've been getting away with my every whichaway triplets for some time now. But they should be down/up/down! I'm only a chancer,albeit a respectful one. And..Christmas Eve is probably the best reel ever. Understood?

I think that's my all time favourite interpretation of Brenda Stubbert's :)

Your triplet explanation is really clear . . this has helped a lot . . thank you Stewart

I really like how you explain the mechanics as well as demonstrate how to play the triplets. Wagging the dog is a great way to explain the differences in the bow control and I might have missed it otherwise. Great! Thank you very much for posting this.

thank you a lot bruce, what brand of string are u using? thank you!

I wonder, do you absolutely HAVE to start the triplet on a downbow (as Bruce suggests)... or can an experienced player do triplets either on a downbow or an upbow? Anyway, great video, found it very useful.

Harry Tait

Thanks Bruce, very helpful.

I had been doing triplets as Down-Up-Down, but the closest sound I can get to matching this video is more like All 3 triplet notes on the Down bow and the up is to prepare for the next triplet. It seems the bow is bouncing to create the more agressive triplet. Is this correct? A 60fps video just isn't enough for this music :)

Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to know what the heck that was.
