The Royal Scots Cap Badge

Tune comment

Dear Mr. Robertson, thanks for taking out of the trunk this wonderful tune. It has the melodic line and essence of the ancient military tunes. I have learned it with great pleasure just following your precise explanations. Just to point that listening to the mp3 file I think you are playing a different variation from the Second Part, Firs repeat, Third Bar as written down on the pdf.
Thank you

Thank you Salvi for your kind comments. I am not sure what you mean about a different playing from that as written in the PDF. I assume that it might be about the ending of the first time through the second part where a high G is played and written towards the end of the part.

The high G is meant to be played the first time through. From listening to my sound file I appear to play the melody as written except for the odd high A in the F doubling added in the playing, and a few birls a bit sticky.

I am pleased that you like some of the older tunes often neglected over the past number of years.
Best wishes,
Bill
