I am using a little Eastman 504 mandolin with a Martin classical guitar.Bayard (1981) traces the history of the tune, beginning in the British Isles with a melody called "Rosasolis," set by Giles Farnaby (c. 1560‑ c.1600), which appears in the the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book. Another version of the melody is called "Morris Off" and appears in Jehan Tabourot's Orchesographie (1588), http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/FCfiles.html
