Amelia Sie & Friends take us on an enchanting exploration of scordatura from seventeenth century Italian, German, and Scottish, to the modern fiddle of Appalachia.

Scordatura is a tuning of a string instrument that is different from the normal, standard tuning. It typically attempts to allow special effects or unusual chords or timbre.
