Some tunes, e.g., Eden of Love, have inconsistent accidentals. Earlier editions tended to use more diachromatic scales, with few (if any) accidentals. Later in the 18th century accidentals were often added (especially in minor keys), but inconsistently. For a more primitive sound, one might try dropping accidentals wherever possible.
