Reviews

“Remember, this book has come all the way from the Isle of Skye, and it costs these people more to print a book like this. So if the price may look a little steep it isn't.

The printing is excellent, everything is easily readable, and the arrangements will work well on the mandolin, too.”

Hrabanus Maurus

“Most tunes are traditional, many very old, and all are here in first-rate, authentic transcriptions rendered in a pleasing and very playable format.”

T. Billings

“This is one of a three-volume series (somewhat confusingly called Vols. 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6). They are all wonderful, as is anything else Christine Martin and Taigh Na Teud, a small publisher on the Isle of Skye, put their hands to.”

Amazon -T. Billings

“This is a very well done book of Scottish fiddle tunes. There are many classics in this book, plus some gems that you may have trouble finding anywhere else,”
