Abstract:

The instrumental music of North Carolina's mountains is one of the United State's true folk heritages. Much has been written about the ballad and folksong, but the story of the music of fiddles and banjos, their makers and players, has long been neglected. This articles seeks to tell the story of the music, its heritage, background, and mores.
