| Item Description | The title of Skinner's reel 'Mair Rozit' refers to the fiddler's need for rosin - used on bow hair to make it sticky, so it will make the strings vibrate. It shows Skinner in a humorous mood with this tricky reel, which Skinner would have probably played very fast indeed during concert performances. After he had played it he certainly would have needed - more rosin. |
