Reviews

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

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,”

Hrabanus Maurus - Amazon

“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 - Amazon

“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.”
