TROWIE REEL [1]. AKA “Trow’s Reel, Da.” Shetland, Shetland Reel. Shetland, Unst. D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A trowie is the term used in Shetland for 'fairy', and this tune was attributed to them, overheard by someone who whistled it over to fiddler Friedemann Stickle (b. 1780). Pat Shuldham-Shaw maintained the there was only one part to the tune, in grandson John Stickle’s mind, and that any addition turning was spurious.
