SCANT OF SILLER. AKA - "Scant of Silver." English, Reel (whole time). England, Northumberland. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears in the music manuscript collections of William Vickers (1770), a musician from Northumberland, and William Irwin, a Lake District musician who entered it into his copybook some eighty years later. The similarly-titled "Scant of Money" is a different tune. Vickers researcher Matt Settle links the tune with "Poor a Purse and Routh o' Credit," and says "there are enough similarities to connect the two, especially bearing in mind the similar meetings of the titles [1]. He also begs comparison with Vickers own "Little Benton" or "Cuddy Splutter" although he also says that tune may have more in common with "Scant of Money."
