I'd heard of this one but can't remember if it was on this list or not (might have been on FIDDLE-L). I'd be interested to hear what you think of it; so far the only comments I've read were more concerned with the sound quality rather than musicianship. -Steve -- "How can anyone govern a nation that has 246 kinds of cheese?" -Charles De Gaulle Steve Wyrick -- Concord, California Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
