THE FIDDLE HANDBOOK by Chris Haigh: Book/2 CD pack. A treasure trove of information spanning the whole range of fiddle playing. Looks in detail at the most commonly played styles among today's fiddlers. From America, there's old time, bluegrass, Cajun, Western swing, country, blues, rock, klezmer, and jazz, while from the British Isles there's Irish, Scottish, and English. Plus a quick romp through Eastern Europe, the spike fiddles of Africa and Asia, the Chinese Erhu, the Indian Sarangi, and the Norwegian Hardingfele. A wealth of musical examples - ornaments, bowing patterns, scales, modes, exercises and complete tunes - are reproduced on the CD. And finally, the book answers once and for all the hoary old question, "What's the difference between a fiddle and a violin?" The answer, of course, is that fiddle players have more fun.... Hardcover, lay-flat spiral binding. 304 pp.
