Magnificent!

[@ThereByTheTrees]

Der er ihvertfald brugt østligtlydende skalaer i stor stil. Mit gæt vil være harmonisk mol Great video, and great playing! The Hurdy Gurdy is wonderful!

[@grumpy23240]

Not sure I like the particular tune but she is without doubt an absolute master of the vielle a roue!

[@eloyvazquez]

Very beautiful HurdyGurdy!. I recommend you listen to "Himno Gallego (solo de zanfona) por Eloy Vázquez" played with his hurdy-gurdy.

[@fayeleister437]

Wonderful

[@cpchehaibar]

I'm in love

[@flamencoprof]

I have just realised she is controlling the dog, not by velocity, but by twisting her right wrist as she does the rotation.

[@wizardsvale]

Beautiful sounding instrument. Who made it?

[@TheDonnAgeddon]

Most amazing.

[@ultra7153]

the frisson is full-body with this one!

[@MrKoshechan]

Потрясающий темперамент!

[@ambydash]

[@tempusestiocundum3549]

Wonderful 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mukhumor]

Great. I like Nigel Eaton, Andrei Vinogradov, Paty Gurdy, Piotr Novotnik, But I don't know your name.

[@aaronishappy]

the celts came from central europe and certain celtic tribes migrated to galatia in the 3rd century BC, not vice versa

[@PaganVegas]

Magnificent.

[@espero21]

Какая замечательная мясорубка. И хозяйка ничотак.

[@patricklastname5646]

Well, she blows everybody away with her playing, absolutely astonishing! It sounds so much like middle eastern music. Does this instrument play quarter notes?

[@hurrumanni]

Yes, you can bend the notes by pushing the buttons variably hard

[@AndreaSPitaim]

Could you please inform who is the maker of your hurdy gurdy? Thank you.

[@aaronishappy]

interestingly, the middle eastern influence is meant to come from european crusades in the middle east during medieval times

[@Krabadaque]

@Nachtjager - you really can express yourself so that it reflects who you are!

[@retributionx7696]

It is true that the harmonic scale was more widely used in Europe, for folk music. Even medieval Viking music used that scale. The scale is what makes the music sound "exotic", however it was already common in Europe. It was actually classical music that made it less common.

[@mutsuzawa]

I want one! Where can I buy it?

[@louichlouich]

Tu es vraiment impressionnante!!

[@jref-jref]

Hello, i like the way you playhurdy gurdy. Where did you get yours ? any luthier you can give me the web page ?

[@Mojomatrix]

I love you !

[@marcollano5917]

It has such an, I don't know, I guess medieval sound.

[@marcollano5917]

Middle eastern.

[@eclectic1magpie]

@@marcollano5917 Both!

[@flamencoprof]

I was intrigued by the long intro to the first piece. It reminded me of the long intros sometimes heard in Flamenco. I would research it myself, but I have no idea what the first piece is. I would be interested and grateful to hear if anyone knows.

[@soslothful]

God's blood that must be beastly to tune!

[@Krabadaque]

Also maintaining it and adjusting everything so it works is a chore.

[@rogerbird5665]

I love the Hurdy Gurdy. Sure has a funny name, though. (:->)

[@oleboyer1]

In spain Zanfona and in Scandinavia Drejelira. The french call it Viel en rue

[@altepost3805]

Not precisely - in French it's Vielle à roue

[@LordSkizzik]

gänsehaut, richtig gut

[@renebleu3542]

Nice sound ! Could you tell me please who is the constructor "Luthier" of this instrument ? Regards,

[@brunfelsia]

Wolfgang Weichselbaumer. This is the Tenor model.

[@Laura21404]

excelente!!

[@dannyvogel9660]

Anyone know the name of the first tune? Or where it's from?

[@utubehound69]

That's incredible i would love to have you play on some songs on my album Thank you very much; does any body know where to get a starter H.G. or a affordable one I've seen one at mountian music in Clayton Ga but was in disrepair

[@ahtramguitarron]

I love you

[@robertkaye5434]

Who is she? I want to hire her immediately!

[@bradgotch]

I can imagine this fitting right in with some Rimbetica players.

[@DrakeClark-bp1cq]

What is that song called?

[@jaderozner5653]

Are these instruments tuned to A432hz like in the medieval times? anyone know?

[@SethShumateHarmonica]

WOWWWW

[@gajda1984]

The 2nd dance is a Macedonian dance, sitna lisa.

[@hughvane]

Donovan Leitch never got to sing with one of these.

[@Krabadaque]

Should have, though!

[@ruda82d]

[@yamabiru4553]

1000!

[@abisail666]

what's the name of the songs? the first one sounds very east european...

[@S0lidState]

,,you have that a little misunderstood, the Celts did not come from Israel or Lebanon but believed to be from middle Europe.

[@yelassinacoulibaly819]

🌈🍀🙏🍀🙏❤️🌈

[@vladdrac3927]

[@JeremyPickett]

you are now my new, fake, internet girlfriend. your trompettes are delicate, yet agrressive enough. your, I always forget the name, the four areas of your right arm, are perfect. your playfulness is delightful, and your knowledge of your modes and alternate scales is self evident. bravo.

[@roquexuvia]

Os galegos chamamolhe ZANFONA

[@dimegobt]

Арно рекле... сегде ќе не најдиш :) поздрав

[@flamencoprof]

Try and find a better performance that shows all it can do, including the emotion.

[@pharaohwewuz]

>tfw no hurdy gurdy player gf

[@tubbers20]

Where is the belly dancer? :^)

[@oleboyer1]

Hurdy Gurdy er et fantastisk udtryksfuldt instrument og er her spillet med virituositet. Mærkelig melodi. Hvad mon det er. Klassisk? Folkemusik? indisk?

[@stevenrobinson1889]

Tune before recording! ;)

[@hughvane]

Not so sure about that, a lot of audience members actually like to see the 'maintenance', as it were, of an unusual instrument like this. You will often see guitar and violin soloists, for example, retuning their instruments between numbers.

[@soslothful]

I thought the same thing.

[@MrKirby2367]

Dude if you don't like it just skip forward or don't watch at all. Tool.

[@soslothful]

MrKirby2367 Yikes! Your powerful reply sure has put me in my place.

[@stuartwilliams4745]

+Steven Robinson I think it adds to the interest.
