OLD HAILE HORNPIPE. English, "Old" or Triple Hornpipe (triple time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCDEFGHI. From Thomas Marsden's A Collection of Original Lancashire Hornpipes, Old and New. Containing Divisions upon each (London, 1705). Unfortunately, nothing is know about the author (who may have first published his book in 1697, according to Chappell, albeit he had not seen a copy), although it is thought he came from the north of England. The book was sold out of Henry Playford's shop at the Temple Change, priced at one shilling. Haile is a village in Cumbria, northwest England, 7 miles southeast of Whitehaven.
