SAILOR'S HORNPIPE [4]. AKA and see "Fisher's Hornpipe." Scottish, Hornpipe (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. In southwestern Pa. the "Sailor's Hornpipe" title was used as a floater for versions of the common tunes "Fisher's Hornpipe" and "Haste to the Wedding [1], presumably by novice listeners and players. However, at least on printed collection, Thomas Craig's small collection of hornpipes (36 in all) issued around the turn of the 20th century in Aberdeen, Scotland. The tune is identified as 'Scottish' in this entry because it was printed in a collection from Aberdeen under this title, however, its provenance is English (as "Fisher's Hornpipe"). Craig gathered hornpipes from several different countries for his collection.
