Helen Tune Req: 1834 Clock, Plays7tunes, what are they? (92* d) RE: Tune Req: 1834 Clock, Plays7tunes, what are they? 19 May 20

I have done a rough approximation of Tune # 3 and saved it as a midi file. It made sense in the key of F Major, which has one flat, i.e. B flat. I can't post it here unless I do a bit of mental gymnastics and manually make it into an ABC notation.

Personally, I don't think it will make it any easier to identify the tunes to create music notation.

I did suggest before that Tune # 6 reminded me of Good King Wenceslaus, but I've listened to it again and I've changed my mind.

Given that the clock was made in 1834 it's quite possible that the tunes may have been well known back then, but nearly 200 years later some of them may have dropped into obscurity.
