MANCHESTER HORNPIPE [4]. English, Hornpipe. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Gibbons originally set the tune in the key of 'C' major. Gibbon's untitled "Hornpipe No. 101" is the tune most traditional musicians recognize as the "Manchester Hornpipe (1)." Another melody that he entitled the "Manchester Hornpipe” is a different tune than his “No. 101”. It was originally set in the key of 'C' major.
