I’m not the one playing, sorry if I implied that. I am trying to learn the B part currently, and want to find the music for it.

It is wonderful and nicely played! I don’t know what it is, but I like it a lot!

I like it too, I’m trying to learn it but I keep getting kicked around by the B part. Can play the A though.

Bump…help!
Hi Avanutria
I have NO idea what the tune’s called - haven’t heard it before. I really like it though! But here’s the tune. Just as a caveat, I haven’t tried notating anything in abc before, so I apologise if the format’s all wrong! The notes’re right though, if that makes sense… 
C & F are both #s
B3~C dB3~ |fgfe dCdB |ABCd C3B |ABCd CA3~ |
B3~C dB3~ |fgfe defg |aA3~ C3d |edCA B4 |
BF3~ GBdB |ACaC bCaC |bf3~ bfaf |eC3~ egfd |
BF3~ GBdB |ACaC bCaC |bf3~ afgf |egfd B4 |
Hope that makes sense!

Thanks Deirdre - this is good incentive to learn ABC! hehehe
For you or for me?? 
First for me, and then we’ll find out if you need to! 
But seriously, thanks for the help!
Here’s Deirdre’s transcription corrected to be in proper ABC format:
X:1
T:Mystery Tune
K:D
M:4/4
L:1/8
R:Reel
~B3c d~B3 |fgfe dcdB |ABcd c3B |ABcd c~A3 |
~B3c d~B3 |fgfe defg |a~A3 c3d |edcA B4 
|: ~BF3 GBdB |Acac bcac |b~f3 bfaf |e~c3 egfd |
~BF3 GBdB |Acac bcac |b~f3 afgf |egfd B4
Great job with the transcription, Deirdre, it captures the tune quite nicely.
Thanks Colomon! I don’t have a ABC program yet, is there a page that tells me what the ~ and all that mean? I can see how is likely a staff repeat, and I’m guessing capital vs lowercase has to do with octaves…

Thanks Colomon - I guess I really should learn how to do this… )

Avanutria: as far as I know - so I may be wrong! - capital letters are lower-octave, and small are upper; ~ means that you play a roll/trill on the note following; 3, 4 etc. after a note means that that’s the number of (in this case, 1/8) beats that the note is held for… I think those’re the main bits…

I copied and pasted the ABC into Tune-o-tron and got this:
Kinda small, but does this help? Anyways, I emailed it to you.
Here’s the midi of this:

If you can find a way to make it bigger that would be awesome, Kim! That’s what I am trying to end up with because then I take it into Word and whistle-tab each line.
Good morning!
I emailed it to you and it’s bigger in the email.
Have I finally redeemed myself from the “It’s a Small World” debacle, do you think?

You weren’t very far off at all – I had no problem understanding exactly what you meant, and it was easy to fix so the computer was happy with it too.
The capital letters lower octave, lowercase upper distinction fails on one note – C. Uppercase C is middle C, ie one note below the D whistle’s range. Lowercase c is the C right below the second octave D. In other words, starting on middle C and going up to the whistle’s top B, the ABC scale goes
CDEFGABcdefgab.
Try this to look at the ABC:
Wonderful tune! Not entirely traditional-sounding, to my ears. Could the person who’s playing it have composed it, by any chance. I’d love to know whose it is, if you find out.
