Swinging Twin Fiddle

The German violin backed by the Goya G10. I think this is now in the public domain. If anyone knows anything to the contrary, please let me know.

Original contradance tune by Michael Mendelson (slidingscale) - From the CD 'A FIDDLER'S NOTEBOOK'

A very old English Christmas carol,

and one of my favorite melodies.

One of the great oldies. Performed here with my heroes Torsten Pärus and Valter Enlund on fiddles, me on octave mandolin. From my 1st solo CD Polska Differente (1994)

One of my fav traditional Finnish polska tunes after a great fiddler J.E. Taklax from Korsnäs.

From my 2nd solo CD Arto Järvelä Plays Fiddle (1999)

And now for something a bit different. I learned this to play for a friends wedding. I got it from the 1st CD by the incredible Helsinki Mandoliners. I worked it up in AEAE. This is the fiddle in my picture. Recorded 7/11/07. Chirps

An old Irish hymn, and one of my all time favorites. This and the Cabri Waltz were recorded at my father's home on a mini disc while we were there for his 80th birthday party. Some bloopers and blunders in it...oh well..
