For a D whistle.
Maybe something romantic sounding. ;)

Appreciate it! Thank you! :)

Hi Kerry!

I've been playing Arran Boat several times today... it's a very beautiful tune :)

Here's the sheet (thanks to the Wandering Whistler):

Aha! Perfect! thanks again!

Btw, Arran Boat is a lovely tune and it's very simple to play. Good for me because it takes me the longest time to get a tune down!

Thanks!

Dunmore Lasses played slowly on D whistle is the very definition of "haunting". You can here it on the Cheiftan's Long Black Veil cd, played with Ry Cooder.
