Good old time fiddling tunes at their best!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Allan MacDonald's Old Time Fiddle Tunes (Paperback)
Allan MacDonald's collection of original old time style fiddle tunes is a great mixture of catchy, fast-learn waltzes, hoedowns, schottisches, and two-steps for master fiddlers or beginner fiddlers alike. For those fiddlers who learn new tunes by ear, there is also a tape or CD of these tunes available from Allan MacDonald's MCCBS Studio. The tunes, played by Allan MacDonald himself, were recorded at his studio in North Idaho, a beautiful mountainous area from which he selected the names of many of his tunes.

Good way to open up to some original sounds,
By A Customer
This review is from: Allan MacDonald's Old Time Fiddle Tunes (Paperback)
I'm a beginning fiddle player and I enjoyed this book because the songs are a nice change of pace and have a genuine sound and melody. As someone who doesn't read music well, I'd recommend contacting the publisher for the accompanying CD.
