Juli: many years ago when I
was active on the Clan Sinclair tent circuit, I invested in many books,
including a bandsman's book that contained the score for many of the standard
pipeband pieces, including the Sinclair March. I asked many pipers to play
this and let me record it for use in the tent, but they all said it was a
difficult tune, and they lacked the experience/skill to do it, so I wound up
giving it to a friend who plays with the Sacramento Shrine Band. The book
was named as one volume of a two-volume set of the Black Watch Pipe Band's
Music, or something like that. My guess is that most Grade I through III
have copies of this for their usual practice. Pipe teachers also would be
a likely source for the tune. President Emeritus David Bouschor says it's
a "quick march" but he doesn't say he has any CD's or tapes of the
tune. If anyone finds this in commercial stocks, I would appreciate
knowing how to obtain it.
