Important Copyright Notice

Some of the following tunes have been transcribed by Sue & myself; others have been downloaded from other websites, but I can't honestly remember which came from where. I'm assuming that authors who make their transcripts freely available won't mind them appearing on this site, but... if anyone objects and lets me know (paul@silkstone-whistles.com) I'll eliminate them immediately. (The offending files, that is.) As far as I'm concerned, anyone is free to download the files from this site for non-commercial purposes. (For non-techies, if you right-click on the image, you can save it as whatever filename you want to wherever you want.)

New Contributions

I'm happy to add new tunes to the list if people send me the files in GIF format. Please see the notice above, because I really don't want to upset or offend anyone.

Order of Listing

The tunes are listed in alphabetical order with absolutely no regard to country of origin, style, colour or religious persuasion.
