The problem with the Fraser pairing is that he plays Calliope House in D.

Yes, and Calliope House doesn't sound as good in D, as it does in E.

Quite right, and it lies well on the fiddle in E as well. I've never understood why one would bother to put it into D. Maybe they couldn't find jigs in E to put it with?? ;)
