Standard tuning (fiddle). AABCC. This quadrille part can be found in the (Thomas) Hardy manuscript collection (Dorset, 19th century), and is similar to part of an untitled quadrille in the c. 1837-1840 MS of Shropshire musician John Moore (Ashman, 1991). The 'A' part is nearly the same as "Dingle Regatta." The tune appears under the "Garçon Volage (Le)" title in the Royal Keyed Bugle Tutor, published by Z.T. Purday in London in 1830.
