Fun for Fiddlers - New Website Resources The Tune Index page has some new features! This page displays a list of all the tunes in all our sets, sorted in alphabetical order by tune name. You can also see the list of tunes sorted by tune type, or by the key signature. Hearing the tunes played by Cape Breton fiddlers is key to learning to play the tune yourself, now you can do that right on our website. Click the tune name in the list to get a listing of known recordings of the tune played by Cape Breton artists. Click the artist name in the list to listen to the tune (mp3) as played by that artist. Click the album name to see what other tunes that artist plays in the same set. Wondering what other tunes go well with the tune you are learning? Click the tune name, then follow links to albums containing that tune to see what tunes Cape Breton fiddlers play together.
