Could anyone please point me towards a score for the 'Tinners Fancy', a (traditional?) Cornish tune. I have a couple of recordings of it but they are played very fast and I'm finding it difficult to pick it up by ear.

I found nothing but a CD. Sorry.

Technology is your friend:

Amazing Slow Downer

"New incredible tool for the serious musician!
Insert a CD, listen to it, adjust the speed and pitch in real-time.
Also slows down MP3, WMA, AAC/M4A, OGG, FLAC and AIFF files."

Won't help if you can't play by ear...now, put a CD in, and it prints out music.....

Well, it's true, Richard asked for a "score," but he also said "I have a couple of recordings of it but they are played very fast and I'm finding it difficult to pick it up by ear," which implies that maybe slowing it down would be of some use to him...

Though I agree, Sorcha, that "insert CD, print score" function is one I'd love to get my hands on!

If you can bear with me, I will ask a friend whom I think may be able to help, it will be Wednesday before I can do this, but he is a mine of useful info.......
Cheers, Lucy

I thought it might be on the Cornish music site an-daras but it's not in their database. However if you send Merv Davey an e-mail request at [e-mail]
I'm sure he would be able to help since his brothers recorded their version of the tune on 'The Hole in the Harper's Head' LP of 1982.

Sorry, that doesn't work as a link. That blue clicky is actually there e-mail address.

Thanks to all for help. I will certainly get that slow down program, but in this instance Merv Davey (who I met many years ago) kindly came to my rescue and provided me with a score.
