Tour Scotland travel video of Celtic flute and fiddle music on past visit to a Scottish concert. The Celtic fiddle is one of the most important instruments in the repertoire of Celtic music. The fiddle itself is identical to the violin, however it is played differently in widely varying regional styles. In the era of sound recording some regional styles have been transmitted more widely while others have become more uncommon. In much of Celtic fiddling there are few known composers, as many tunes have been taught by ear and passed down from one generation to another. Also, many players adjusted tunes to suit their style and taste, so there can be many variations for a particular tune.
