I heard it played at a session in Saguenay (Chicoutimi). No wonder it is popular around here ;)
I transcribed it from Alfred Montmarquette's playing on the Virtual Gramophone. I think it's a nice reel for begginers.

I noticed that the beat looks offset if you start the tune with a d before the first bar; a d2 or dz would correct this.
Actually, Montmarquette plays a dz; I didn't care about it when transcribing but I understand now why he's done that.
I've updated the ABC.

Reel de Berthier consists of something, then he second part of this reel. It's like Reel de Normandin vs Reel des Sucres... I don't know if they should be considerated as separate reels...

Oops, I meant : then the first part of this reel.
