Just found this gem of a documentary on fiddle making (and fiddling) on Cape Breton Island in Canada. It's at Cape Breton Fiddles

I met Otis at Celtic Colours last year. A real nice guy. Actual fact -he uses his own beard hair for the fiddle bow. He says they have the best resonance!!! (ok, I made that up). Great Doc, I watched it on CBC a few months ago.
