That nice Detroit strathspey (!) by Joan Macdonald Boes "The Sweetness of Mary" is invariably played down here in Sussex in D. The written key - aimed at the violin - is A, and it sounds so much more vibrant when played in A.

As a matter of interest, Will, have you tried playing it on the fiddle in A?
