| Item Description |
Manuscript in Skinner's hand of 'The Diamond' hornpipe. Under the tune he writes: The Cross bowing is very effective in Hornpipes. The compiler has adapted this Reel as a Hornpipe [-] Some slight departure has been made, but not with the feature notes, all players give their own renderings [-] this is a necessity if the character is to be perpetuated [-] wild flowers grow best by the way side. Looking at Skinner's hornpipes you can see that he was meticulous about inserting bowing. |
