Terrific Pipe Tune - or fiddle
I've heard this tune all my life but the challenge is it's actually written in Eb (C Minor) I don't know how to do this on this system. So - it really isn't as hard to play as it looks and ... well enjoy.

Slow Strathspey
I play fiddle and I also enter competitions. I know this as a Slow Strathspey and it is a fiddle tune, not a pipe one. It was written by Ian Fraser... I think.
It's a fantastic tune!
