Books, CDs & DVDs
Beyond an extensive selection of instructional and repertoire materials for guitar (classical, gypsy jazz, fingerstyle, bluegrass, swing), mandolin, banjo, tin whistle, ukulele and fiddle, we often have featured titles from specialty publishers and select sources. Here's a sampling.

The Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle Tunes
It's here, in stock! 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.

The Fretboard Journal
The Fretboard Journal has intelligent content and a paucity of advertising, so we give it our enthusiastic vote and have stocked it right from Volume 1. The Fretboard Journal "captures the history, innovation and stories behind the world of guitars, banjos, mandolins and ukuleles."
Check with us regarding the availability of back issues. Sorry, no more Volume 1.

Fiddler's Tunebooks
For fans of Irish and New England fiddle styles, these books are stellar collections of tunes. If you play for dances, they're "must haves." Ceol Rince na hEireann covers five volumes of Irish tunes. The Waltz Book is now up to three volumes of new and traditional waltzes. The Portland Collection, Volume 2 is now available, and the companion CD for volume 2 will be in stock very soon. And finally, The Fiddler's Throne, compiled by New England fiddle stalwart Randy Miller. More tunes than you can shake a bow at.
