Michael, if you phone Ozzie Branscombe (a very friendly chap, who'll talk your ear off with details) at The Country Music Store in Toronto, on Danforth Avenue, (sorry I haven't got the number but operator info will get it for you) I think you'll find what you're looking for. Also ask him about Brent Williams, a black Bluegrass Fiddler who I played with years ago. (also a Maritimer and still playin') Brent would have a HUGE chunk of info.
