And of course Pärt chose to write the piece. So maybe we can assume that like
the rest of us he's a bit partial to a bit of sin now and again ;-)
Boyden of course is not the last word in research on the history of
violin playing. I gather from other sources that not all old bows were
shorter, even though such authorities as Jaap Schroeder continue to
state that they were. Don't get me wrong, I have the greatest respect

As a foreigner, I would like to know how "choyte" is pronounced.
Like "boy"? or "boat"? or with two syllables?

Hi all,
For several years my father was at sea with a mixed crew of Hebridean Islanders
and other Scots.
Apparently the scots refered to the Islander as 'choochters' (chew- k-ters) not
sure of spelling; this is an aural history.
The name described the babbling nature of the island Gaelic speech.

Hello All,
As far as I can see, 'choyte' isn't in Heslop's work on Northumbrian
Words (1892/95). Nor does there seem to be anything that might sound
similar.
The word isn't in Griffiths 'Dictionary of North East Dialect'
(2004),
either, nor in Geeson's 'Northumberland and Durham Word Book' (
