Hello! I'm Jim Dorans. Welcome to World Fiddle Music, my site for learning tunes on fiddle and in some cases, other melody instruments - the technical side is entirely fiddle based, and contains fiddle tuition in the form of mini fiddle lessons (or violin lessons if you prefer!)

I've recorded a variety of tunes both at normal and slower playback speed. All the audio and video clips on this site were played and recorded by me using a Yamaha SV-200 electric violin, except the 'Scottish' clip above, where I used a 'Sonic Attack' violin. I chose to use these for audio and video, as the sound was a lot easier to control, and recording was not affected by extraneous noise. I do own and play a beautiful old acoustic violin too! Check out West Country Violins to see and hear some quality instruments.

The tunes are mainly folk & traditional, from Scotland, Ireland, England, Eastern Europe and of course the U.S.A and Canada, plus some contemporary tunes. They are played through once only.

This site will cover many diverse aspects of fiddle playing and classical violin technique.
