MRS. O'NEILL. Irish, Planxty or Air (whole time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). O'Sullivan (1958) says "the first half of the tune is too mutilated to allow of reconstruction," while the barring of the second half is "obviously faulty". He has reconstructed bars 6, 7, and 8 in his version.

  1. ↑ This appears to be a plagiarized reissue of Lee’s or Mulhollan's volumes, without the names of tunes, only numbers.
