Tune properties and standard notation


HUMORS OF TALLOW. Irish, Double Jig. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Tallow, from the Irish Tulach an Iarainn (Hill of Iron), is a village in County Waterford on the Glenaboy River, near where it joins the Bride, on the Cork-Waterford border. It was established around the 14th century, and there exists a ruined keep nearby, Lisfinny Castle, once the stronghold of the Fitzgeralds. O'Neill's source is undoubtedly O'Farrell, who included many place-names from County Waterford throughout his volumes.
