The work is entitled Lisunagara which means introducing fiddle to a broader realm. The research method used in this paper is a qualitative research method focusing on the description and analysis of the work.

The results of this research prove that the fiddle cannot only be played in a convention (tradition) setting but can also be played through a digital approach so that it can be juxtaposed with other genres.
