LARDNER'S REEL [2]. American, Reel. USA, southwestern Pa. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. Bayard's source, fiddler Irvin Yaugher, maintained this was "the old-fashioned way of playing it" (referring to the tune "Lardner's Reel (1)." The tunes have little in common, however. Yaugher did play "Lardner's Reel (1)" as well, transcribed by Bayard in Hill Country Tunes (1944).

-'''LARDNER'S REEL [1]'''. American, Reel. USA, southwestern Pa. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B (irregular in the 'B' part).  In his analysis of the tune, Bayard treated the two parts of this tune as separate and pointed out they are seldom found together. "While the first half of this tune occurs pretty frequently in our instrumental tradition, it seems to have no steadfast association with any one second strain." The second strain is shared with "Turnpike Reel (The)", while the first strain is shared with (or related to) "[[Leviathan Hornpipe]]," and "[[Prairie Hornpipe]]."
