KLEZMER MUSIC - PLAYED ON MY GREAT GRANDFATHER'S FIDDLE!

An arrangement of the Klezmer classic "Hopke", on the very fiddle which once belonged to my great grandfather, Max Schneider! This is about as authetic as a Klezmer fiddle get - he used to play this very fiddle at countless Jewish weddings in the 1920s, and it was also the very fiddle he took with him to play in the trenches of Flanders when he went off to fight the First World War...can anyone spot any shrapnel damage??;o)
