What happened to Pas fiddle?
Nobody knows for sure where Pa bought his beloved fiddle. A good guess, though, would be he bought it as a young boy. It is likely that he learned to play his fiddle all by himself, with out any music lessons. Pa would learn to play “by ear” which means that he could play a song or tune on his fiddle without even reading the music. Today Pa’s fiddle is on exhibit at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home Association in Mansfield, Missouri.
