Here's another for the "Slow Airs" collection. I had recorded this before, but removed it due to poor quality. So here's a hopefully better one, also trying out a new pair of mic's. It's a tune by 17th century Irish harper and composer Thomas Connellan called Molly St. George, played on a Hohner 3 row in ADG.

 It's a model usually called a "pre-Corona", produced, I believe, from the late 1940's into the 50's in several variants. Perhaps one of our Hohner scholars can give a more complete history. It's a very lovely box to play.  (:)
