DES,

If you want a Dm version of this tune, here is a video of Angelina Carberry playing it:

The as-written key is Em, but it sounds much better on the banjo in Dm.

Re: tablature site

I just did a google using "irish music tab" and got several websites. I couldn't find one for The Big Balloon, but did find Nancy Sinatra's The Big Red Balloon... I wonder if she's playing that funny looking thing-a-ma-jig...

I just ran the ABC file on this site of "Cornelius Curtin's Big Balloon" in Em through Tabledit set up for GDAE mandolin. I'll send it to you if you're interested.

Re: tablature site

Please help me I am looking for a way to find penny (tin) whistle tunes with tabs, numbers or finger holes online. I don;t read music and way to old to try. If there is a way to use this site I would appreciate a tutorial. If you know of other Web Sites that have penny whistle tunes with tablature I would really appreciate knowing about them.
