In Tune with Tradition
Wisconsin Folk Musical Instruments
Edited by Robert T. Teske


This book celebrates the beauty, diversity, and vitality of Wisconsin's instrument-making tradition as practiced by seventeen craftsmen in a dozen ethnic, regional, and occupational commuunities throughout the state. From Ojibwa dance druums to Hardanger fiddles, these instruments and their makers are introduced with stunning photographs and lively, informative text.
