Sheet music and tin/penny whistle notes for Irish songs.
Including music from The Dubliners, The Clancy's, Traditional Tunes, Christy Moore, The Wolfe Tones, The Fureys and much more.This music notation is suitable for banjo, mandolin, accordion, fiddle and tin whistle. The tin whistle notes may not always match the music sheet score, which means when transcribed the notes on whistle may not be in the same key as the sheet music it came from. These song notes are only a guide.
