FAQ

Questions about Mountain Top, The

  • Mountain Top, The is in Bb, in 2/4 time.

  • Easy. 96% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 6.

  • It is a hornpipe, written in 2/4.

  • Yes. Copy the ABC below into the ABC transposer, move the transpose control by semitone, and the notation and tab are redrawn together in the new key. Handy if a singer wants it lower or the tune sits awkwardly on the neck.

  • Yes. Tenor banjo, mandolin and octave mandola are all tuned GDAE, so the tab above is identical for all three. A bouzouki tuned GDAD needs the top string adjusting, which the converter handles.
