John Rae's Fiddle

As part of our John Rae week, Mark Shiner (Stella's Dad!), came into school to talk to us about John Rae's fiddle.  He fixed it up and made it work again after over 100 years!  It was very interesting and we got to hear a clip of the fiddle being played.  We found out that it had strings made out of 'guts' and that's why it sounded a little bit different to the fiddles we listen to today!
