FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

Tuscany holiday – day 4.

This guy was on the wide San Gimignano town walls entertaining some viewiers. He was surrounded by various instruments but the thing that captured most my imagination was this trumpet attached to the violin he was playing. He didn’t seem to be playing it by mouth and it looked like an attachment to the violin.

Thank you very much for looking and for your wonderful comments and the fav’s on yesterday’s picture.

Great title and what a wonderful street scene.

I've seen these instruments before but don't really know about them and this is so intriguing I couldn't resist Googling. I found the following, I thought you might like to see it too : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroh_violin
Great find and capture. Love the pose you've caught him in - a man immersed in his music for sure.
