Questions about The Jolly Corkonian

  • The Jolly Corkonian is in D, in 6/8 time. On a GDAE instrument it sits in first position.

  • Moderate. 94% 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 jig, written in 6/8.

  • 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.
