The Kaval Melodies of Nikola Ganchev N. Ganchev was a very important teacher in A. Eppler's life as a kaval player. He feels that this book of music and commentary promises to be the single most important book ever published in the history of the kaval up to the present day and extending into the forseeable future. It has been lovingly assembled in Sofia by competent specialists. May God assist them in this great work!
