CYRIL STINNETT: Left handed fiddle champion, Spring 1981
“Legendary Missouri Fiddler” Cyril Stinnett interview and performance. Shot by filmmaker Tony Collins in NW Missouri, 1981.
Cyril Winfield Stinnett (1912-1986) lived his whole life in the northwest corner of Missouri in a small house on the prairie lands near the Nebraska and Iowa state lines. He was recorded playing over 300 tunes and legend has it he knew as many again. He picked them up at dances and contests, off records and radio, and from friends. He played an ordinarily strung fiddle left-handed ('over the bar'). He was an impressive contest fiddler with a string of prizes but never went professional and was always willing to share tunes, fiddling tricks and advice with whomever asked. Cyril's 'edge' came from total dedication to the instrument. "Play as much as you can" he said "you can't get too much practice".
