The concept "Hälsingland tunes" is as well-known in Swedish folk music circles as the corresponding idea from Dalarna, from Uppland, from Jamtland and from other provinces.

At the same time, it seems as if the Hälsingland tunes have a special status in some way, and these virtuoso polskas with their rolling style of bowing across several strings, often in flat keys, were an unreachable goal for many fiddlers.

The booklet contains 24 pages of detailed notes in both English and Swedish, as well as a rich treasure-chest of archive photos.
