Chris,
I would have met you at Hi-Rock had I had any extra money this summer...it was a shame I had to miss it, but maybe next year!
At any rate, I've taken to playing on my 20-year old Borbeck 13 with Legere 3.25's. These seem to cover me for the rather diverse styles _I'm_ called upon to play. Since a gig for me is likely to contain both ruchenitsi AND Mozart (weird, huh?) this setup works fine for me.
When I grab a lesson with Ivo at the beginning of Nov when they're here, I'll use my JB along with my Selmer Full Boehm...just to try to approach what he does.
If you can, get a lesson with him! I met him last year, and he's really really cool! And don't worry about the dance floor...learning the basic forms of the dance is important (IMO) but not an absolute prerequisite to playing the tunes well. And besides, most recreational folk dance groups are pretty friendly and tolerant of beginners!
Where are you, BTW?
Katrina
