MAGUIRE'S FIDDLE. AKA and see "O'Donnell's Hornpipe," "Sault's Own Hornpipe." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. New York/County Sligo fiddler Paddy Killoran recorded the tune on a 1936 78 RPM in a medley with "O'Donnell's Hornpipe," although some confusion and interchange of titles has occurred because the tune names were reversed on the label. O'Neill prints the tune as "Sault's Own Hornpipe," sourced to John Gillan.
