I got this Shetland jig from one of Aly Bain's fiddle books - an unusual jig, with an interesting phrase in bars B5 and B6. Oh, and yes - the B part really does have 10 bars.

JC tunefinder suggests this may jig may be a form of 'The Black Joak' (also unusual in having 6 bars in part A and 10 in part B)

The tune's title takes an umlaut over the 'o'. You can achieve this by typing

T: Catar\"oni

before feeding it through Concertina's tune-o-tron converter!

(just in case you wanted to know)

The ten bars in Part B also threw me. We follow it with Da Auld Grind and Da Scalloway Lassies - also in Aly Bain's book.
