What’s better than a great amp? TWO AMPS. Excited to explore swirling stereo sounds with my new Phil Jones Bass amp head! Amazing what a difference these speakers make. #electricviolin #stereo (full video on uhhhh that other platform)

Introducing: MEGABREVE! My new duo project with cellist Catherine Bent. We play a mix of Brazilian tunes (like this #choro by Jacob do Bandolim) and originals. Catch us live in Boston this Thursday!

Where my procrastinators at? Excerpt from a recent Boom Chick Trio show in Brooklyn #Procrastinator #Blues #BoomChickTrio

Here’s the tail end of “Paneer Enough,” a raga-inspired fiddle tune I co-wrote with Kristen Jensen at my Summer Strings Retreat, live last month in Groton, MA. Boom Chick Trio is on tour this spring! #Fiddle #Raag #BoomChickTrio

TRIPLE FIDDLESTICKS?! Boom Chick Trio Spring Tour starts this Friday in Cambridge, MA! #fiddle #BoomChickTrio

Tell your friends in Barcelona and Berlin especially! WOOOOOO

#stitch with @Electric Violin Shop YES YOU CAN PALM MUTE A VIOLIN (and it’s even better with octave fuzz). Try it out! #pizzicato #fuzzfiddlewithflax Thanks to Slava Tolstoy for the video… you’ll hear my sounds on his new album soon!

#stitch with @Dusty Whytis Down the modal rabbit hole we go! I talk about stuff like this every month in my Patreon “Lesson Time” videos. (TL:DR—call it a “G7sus4” and be happy)

Replying to @Rob Flax hummin’ and whistlin’ along with @samfribush and his funky B3 noises #HumAndWhistle

#stitch with @packtwomusic Sometimes you get a good question and gotta answer #Ethics #MusicBusiness

ICYMI on my other platforms: there’s still a few open slots for my 2nd Annual Summer Strings Retreat! Come spend a week in the beautiful woods of Maine with me, hiking pristine trails, swimming crystal clear waters, and unlocking the secrets to improvisation. Visit robflax.com/retreat for more info! #SummerStringsRetreat #Maine #JazzViolin #Improv #ElectricViolin

Replying to @BIANA Turns out the answer was “only one video before other people came in here”… comment for Part Two, which I’ll film somewhere else #strum #ViolinChop #FunkFiddle #SamBush

Violin can also be a weird fretless ukulele mandolin thing if you believe in yourself… #ViolinChop #StrumViolin #FunkFiddle

Replying to @Sophie Yasmin why are half my posts just replies when I’m doomscrolling 😂 #ViolinChop #TripletChop #CaseyDriessen #YouGotThis

I got a mystery box! And then found a cool sound… inspired by doomscrolling? Full video on my YT channel #ChaseBliss #MysteryBox #ElectricViolin

Sometimes i play violin, sometimes i hit the keys… Excerpt from a @Billy Wylder jam last month. Low-res but high energy 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 #ArtRock #Jam #Boston

It’s been months since my last post, and over two years since we filmed this, but at long last we have a new episode of #FuzzFiddleWithFlax! This one features the one and only @razzvio and her seven-string Viper electric violin, exploring the versatile Muffuletta by @JHS Pedals #electricviolin #fuzz

Reposting this with different background music! TikTok actually muted my audio on that last post, claiming I was using copyrighted music… but it was my own music 🤪 So new edit, new reason to remind you about my first ever Summer Strings retreat, happening this July! There’s still a few spots left—maximum of 10 attendees total—and you don’t want to miss out on this beautiful getaway. Come swim, hike, jam, create, and reconnect with me! Open to all strings. See you in Maine? #bearnstow #Maine #VacationLand #SummerCamp #SummerStringsRetreat #fiddle #violin #viola #mandolin #guitar #bass #strings #ASTA

#stitch with @CJ Higgins some ideas on wooing #woo

Part 2 of NAMM highlights: the jams! And a lot of actiob over at the @VOLTA booth, where i got to unveil my new Glasser x Volta electric violin! #electricviolin #Glasser #Volta #NAMM2024 #jams

Highlights from this year’s NAMM Show, part 1: cool gear i saw (including some very nice pedals…) #nammshow2024 #pedals #NAMM #electricviolin

More magical sounds from my latest video (last year’s trip to visit 4MS Company in Portland). Have you watched the full thing yet? #modular #synth #4ms #Eurorack #spectralmultibandresonator #electricviolin @VOLTA

What happens when you plug a @voltastrings electric violin into a huge modular synth? Magic. #4MS #modular #synth #electricviolin

Ironically forgot to post this until after midnight… #September #EarthWindAndFireDay #ADHD #MemoryLoss

THIS IS NOT A #bandcampfriday POST. It’s an invite to join my inner circle! #COGIAD #Patreon #StuffSmith
