Well done Mark!


This is a real tricky tune to play, with all the octave leaping about. Sounds pretty on a recorder too. Definitely NOT a noter tune ! shake .
I tried to play it on the penny whistle for a while, and found it just too much for my beginner skills. I'll enjoy your version vicariously!



Yes it was quite a challenge to arrange as well as to play.  I also had to accurately bend a string each time for that sharp 7 in the final cadence.  You can't do that on just any dulcimer, so I had to pick a dulcimer with relatively light string pressure... Doug Berch to the rescue (:  But it's a really fine tune, so thank you for pointing it out back when.
