Beyond an extensive selection of instructional and repertoire books for guitar, mandolin, banjo, tin whistle, ukulele, fiddle and harp, we often have featured books from specialty publishers. Here’s a sampling.
The Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle Tunes
This is a must-have book for anyone interested in American old-time music. Over 1400 American old-time fiddle tunes, 888 pages, representing 347 fiddlers, most born before 1900. The book includes biographical information, tune cross-referencing and more. This monumental project was led by Walt Koken. Walt has a long involvement in string band music, having been a member of the Highwoods String Band. The book is $90, which sounds like a small chunk of change until you consider just how incredibly well done it is. Just think of it as less than 7 cents per tune.
