It sounds like a mix of pirate themed violin playing backwards and a bee flying too close to a microphone.

[@TamirB.98]

u wot m8 Couldn't describe it better can't be unheard

[@Sorrowdusk]

u wot m8 As to the Pirate Theme, look up the opening to the Black Sails television series, they have a great opening and use the hurdy gurdy there as well. As for the "bee" sound, that's called a drone.

[@llloyd4]

+u wot m8 Sounds like music from India, at least to me.

[@Sorrowdusk]

[@llloyd4]

[@Chubzdoomer]

This is how our ancestors rocked out hundreds of years ago.

[@ohmythatsweird]

A hurdy gurdy and a barrel of ale, what more you need?

[@PDXVoiceTeacher]

Dude, if you and I lived back then and wandered by a minstrel in town playing that you know we'd each grab a saucy wench and dance like hell.

[@folkmarcmetal]

Still better then justin bieber

[@Ag-dj9cp]

Chubzdoomer There wasn't anything called "rock" back then, they had different personalities and different tastes of music, that's part of the reason of why i love the medieval era.

[@HarriBlaidd]

I'm not sure about the veracity of this but, i heard a medieval recreationist say that "hurdy gurdy" is supposed to mean "rock your bottom", therefore Chubzdoomer's comment wouldn't actually be far from the truth

[@Just_lift_anyone]

Can you imagine the guy who came up with the idea of the hurdy gurdy trying to explain it to his mates

[@walterswartz3406]

Yes, and after his mates hearing it is what started rum induced alcoholism.

[@noodle6852]

"So basically, I want to take a violin, make it hollow, attach an accordion and make it sound like a bee."

[@samwallaceart288]

So it's like an accordian? NO MAN it's got, like, 7 strings on it. So it's like a violin then? NO, none of that bow bullshit. This has got a fucked up wheel spinning in it and you spin it with a crank on the bottom. You're drunk. No such instrument could be built. Yes I am. And I built it yesterday.

[@armadillotoe]

I believe his brother invented the bagpipes. It works though doesn't it?

[@Voidling_System]

"Hold my beer, I have a genius idea. You know how I tried to play the violin? Well, what if I take that broken wheel from the wagon outside, and rub it across some strings. Maybe I'll hit the string with some wooden blocks. Yeah, that's go good. I'll put it in the church so we don't have to hear my shrew of a wife." "Tobias, you're drunk. You can't just put a wheel on some strings. I'll sound terrible, and the church services are far too long already." "I can't? I already did it."

[@deborahdorn2803]

I have never heard a more adept player, technically and dynamically. This is marvelous.

[@jackjackattack9137]

I just read this instrument is over a thousand years old. They had alot of time on their hands and also a sick sense of humor !

[@MrPHart]

So? the Israelites walked around this really large city playing their music and the "walls came tumbling down", so bad music or poor walls? Now the FBI played the same sad music night and day in Waco, Texas and they gave up without a fight. So bad music or poor ears? Music just how powerful is it? Your birthday without a song? Christmas without a Merry Christmas song, lets see...a dog barking is for your birthday and the wind blowing is for Christmas and a mother looking at her new born but never thinking about a lullaby. Maybe the world would be better without some bands and or some singers or some instruments, however you decide is how you should live in your cave on your mountain all by your lonesome self, because I like music the noise and the instruments noise, you know...the music.

A nice mix of folk songs. Was pleasantly surprised to hear the bulgarian "Dewojko mari hubawa" at 3:10. The original song is played by bagpipe and sounds pretty much alike.

[@JanWollring]

He starts with a fast Bulgarian Chetvorno horo. Amazing to hear a fast irregular rhythm on a hurdy-gurdy!

[@magrathea7777]

@@JanWollring Honestly, the horo is harder to recognise. Medieval instruments have very rough and rich sound. The melodies then were different too. May be people didn't bathe every day, but had a lot of imagination:)

The Hurdy Gurdy is over a thousand years old. It is called zanfona in Gallician Portuguese. It figured prominently in the middle ages & was a main instrument of the Troubadours. It can be found all over Europe in folk traditions from Poland & Hungary to France & Spain. Check out videos on KZbin by German Diaz, Gregory Jolivet & Efren Lopez.

[@russellcrawford7453]

Howdy from Dallas Texas. For some reason in my mind I always thought a hurdy gurdy was some sort of box that had a c a n e sticking out of the bottom to stabilize and a crank and a little monkey attached on a leash to collect Penney's from children! I never realized it had a fretboard like a guitar. I was able to acquire Donovan l e i t c h e s autograph the author of the 1968 hit the Hurdy Gurdy Man. Howdy from Dallas Texas

BULGARIAN FOLK SONGS ! Wonderful performance !

[@sandiyy]

Most of it is bulgarian folklore. (odd time signatures, phrasing, harmony, ornamentation) Instrument in this particular piece kinda resembles bulgarian bagpipes. The composition even has the theme from a popular folk song "Devojko mari hubava". Мистерията на българските гласове-Девойко мари хубава

[@elcabbage2306]

If you can blow a didgeridoo and bang on a drum as well as "pick around" on the guitar, I hope you aren't fooling yourself about the hurdy gurdy. The right hand looks simple, but the left?? Best wishes!
