Notes: An Irish jig transformed into a CH banjo reel.
It is normally played in D-mixolydian (D scale with C-natural), but I tabbed it in "triple-C" tuning, so you'd capo up one step to get to D.
The triple C tuning seem good for the drones of these piping tunes. Adding extra beats to the jig to change it from 6/8 time to 4/4 time "americanizes" the tune. One BHO member even said it seems "bluesy".

Notes: An Irish pipe jig transformed into a CH banjo reel (by Mark Bickford).
The tab is in "triple C" tuning (good for the drones of pipe tunes) so capo up one step to get to the usual key of D-myxolydian (D scale with C-natural).
