Dwight Diller with fiddle, in 2009

Dwight Diller (August 17, 1946 – 14 February 2023) was an American banjo and fiddle player and teacher. He was considered one of the most prominent exponents of the clawhammer banjo tradition.[who?]

Diller lived in Hillsboro, West Virginia, and then Marlinton, and was an inheritor of the old-time music tradition of the Hammons Family of West Virginia. He conducted banjo workshops around the United States and in England. He released a number of recordings and instructional videos.
