Traditional fiddle tunes in MIDI format...

This Site is made possible by Notation Software, Google, Amazon and People like you!

Hetzler's Fakebook is a collection of traditional fiddle tunes in MIDI format. There are currently 548 Old Time, Celtic, English, and Welsh fiddle tunes. Old Time tunes are grouped alphabetically by key. Celtic tunes are grouped by type (i.e., reels, strathspeys, jigs, etc.). English and Welsh tunes are listed alphabetically.

Paper fakebooks consist of simple melody lines in standard notation sometimes with chords. Hetzler's Fakebook goes one step farther. In addition to creating simple melody lines in standard notation when used with Notation Musician, you can hear the tune, adjust the tempo and play along.

Improve your rhythm, phrasing, and intonation. Learn new tunes. Practice tunes you already know. Tunes are in the public domain and arrangements are simplified for learning. The MIDI are intended for use with a variable tempo MIDI player such as Notation Musician that allows you to mute voices, change key and create lead sheets.

Hetzler's Fakebook has no salaried employees. It operates with minimal expense, funded by small individual donations, commissions, and sponsored links. Make a donation! Support what this site offers!
