GRONDEUSE À WILFRED. American, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Grondeuse à Wilfred" is from the repertoire of Vermont Franco-American fiddler Wilfred Guillette (2013-2004) who called the tune "grondeuse" on his LP, perhaps learned from his father, . A grondeuse, or 'growler', is a the generic name for a type of tune played the key of 'D' major in ADae tuning on the fiddle (i.e. "raised bass" tuning), which facilitates a dense bass 'growling' sound. These tunes usually have a stark high strain-low strain contrast.
