Leo Rickard's Glen of Aherlow
Leo Rickard has a fine version of The Glen of Aherlow on his Up, Down and Around album. In the versions I've seen of this in Edor it drops below bottom D in bars 2, 6 & 7 on the A part. Has Leo transposed the tune or has he just swapped out these bars? Anyone got the dots or ABC please? https://open.spotify.com/track/6m7S2eni ... R6gizXCj9w

- Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Eaxactly. Don't you hate it when thathappens ?Rats. Can't listen to it.
As a result I haven't heard it but imagine he does what everybody else does/would do: raise the low notes an octave. Has worked for me for nearly two decades. Other than that, consider the versions you hear rather than the ones you see, perhaps?
[edit/add] just listened to a few bars of preview on Amazon and he raises the low notes, something obvious enough, along the lines of B2 AF BFAF EDEF EdBA |B---etc (I'd leave the D low but both amount to the same thing and retain the original notes)
My brain hurts

Great, thank you. Not everyone is so good by ear. I belive Frank Custy said he always needed the notes to learn a tune, so I’m in good company.
