Almost, but not quite, useless,

This review is from: 'Beginning Fiddle' (Paperback)
I play about 2 dozen different instruments but no strings. I thought I might learn something about bowed strings and purchased this book. It teaches some very basic rudiments of music such as how to read it and gives some very basic information on the instrument but no one, even an accomplished musician, is going to learn much from this book. If you are already a musician, you will learn almost nothing about how to play this particular instrument. If you are not a musician, I don't think you will get enough to learn anything useful.
There is one redeeming feature of this book. There is a small quanity of useful information about differing types of strings, their properties and usefulness. Its about 2 paragraphs. It was however, something that might be useful. Save your money and get a more comprehensive tutorial or, better yet, hire a teacher...at least for the first few lessons.
