What is Folk Tune Finder?
Folk Tune Finder is a search engine for traditional tunes. It brings together many ABC collections into one easy-to-use search. Folk Tune Finder uses an approximate search method that allows you to search for a tune even if you only remember a few notes.
Folk Tune Finder locates tunes based on musical similarity, giving you links to ABC files and dots. You don't need to know ABC!
How do I use Folk Tune Finder?
Either:
- Enter a few notes with the on-screen keyboard (or type them in) then click 'search'. Don't worry about key signature or time signature.
- Or enter the title of the tune you're looking for.
How many tunes are in the system?
Currently there are over 40,000 tunes in the index and counting! If you want to add your collection to the index please send an email to additions@folktunefinder.com
Isn't this just another collection?
No, Folk Tune Finder is a search engine not a collection. If you want your collection in the index, please make contact!
FolkTuneFinder.com is currently in beta
The software is being constantly tweaked and improved. If you can't find a tune, please email joe@folktunefinder.com and come back in a day or two!
