FLAT CAP. English, "Old" or Triple Hornpipe (3/2 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEE. The melody appears in Thomas Marsden's Collection of Original Lancashire Hornpipes, Old and New, published in London by Henry Playford in 1705 (p. 26), and in Walsh's third collection of Lancashire tunes (Lancashire Jigs, Hornpipes, Joaks, etc.) published around 1730. It appears in Marsden's collection as "Flat-Capp, An Old Hornpipe", and was apparently considered old when it was published. The tune belongs to a fairly large family of English triple-hornpipe tunes that includes such titles as "Punchanello's Hornpipe," "Three Rusty Swords," "Lady Susan Montgomery's Hornpipe," "Christmas is Coming," "Three Sharp Knives" and others.
