Hey Duke - Not only useful for me; it's a useful tip for everyone who plays with other people.
All credit to you for having the presence of mind to think of posting it in the first place! |

Sigh, no capo for fiddle. I can tranfer my fingering patterns to different strings to some extent, but Iʻve found it best to bring 2 fiddles, a "g" and an "f". "g" usually tunes standard GDAE, "f" one whole step slacked FCGD. So "f" fiddle in F,C "g" fiddle in G,D,A.

Put da "pila" back in "Kanikapila" |

That's the problem with fiddle, Maliko - no frets. 
I know of a pro singer-songwriter (Peter Case) who only plays in Open G no matter who he plays with -- although he does not call it taro patch. From him In learned to play a lot of songs in G tuning. It takes some effort but it is important to learn at least some chord shapes for several keys in taro patch. I don;t actually play it but can do a credible job of faking on five-string banjo because it is basically tuned to open G.
If you can do I-IV-V chords in several keys, you can cover most songs with rhythm strums or basic finger picking patterns. The licks and turnarounds might be a little more complicated..... |

| I think he told me this once and I've watched him so I'm pretty sure Glen Smith of Ho`okena plays everything they do tuned to Open G. No capo |

| A close relative to the lowered t-patch is the lowered Drop C (aka Drop Bb). I'm very fond of that'n <G> |
