The hurdy gurdy must have been a masterpiece of medieval engineering. I can imagine them taking the same care of an instrument like this as we would a priceless guitar, or set of drums.

[@anathemasoul8393]

You'd be surprised to hear that after a brief period of popularity with rich folk for being a masterpiece of engineering, I read somewhere that these instruments had a bad reputation because homeless prostitutes would often play them for cash because they were easy to learn.

[@yarpenzigrin1893]

In the beginning it was. But then it became a very common instrument and even beggars could afford one. That's when it changed from a sophisticated instrument for the nobility and clergy to a common instrument for the lower classes.

[@kolestutler580]

As the snow falls, cast white flakes against the grey sky, a lone figure trudges on. Through freezing mud and mire, to reach the hearth of his heart's desire. The fell shadows swaying, the wind shifting the pines. The lone wolf and it's crying. Still our hero marches on. Freezing fingers that no gauntlets could keep warm from winter's cold biting maw. He keeps on carrying what little he has to keep him warm: the fire inside & strength of his limbs are all that remain to move the metal, the weight of war, the cold, hard steel of a knight's attire. The ember inside, his heart's desire,...

It's called the hurdy gurdy because the wheel will warp over time making a consistent sound impossible. And they usually don't sound this good, they usually squeak and squawk.

A warning from one "want to play a Hurdy Hurdy" to another. They are absurdly expensive and the makers are very rare. But I hope that you find one that is perfect for you.

[@FitZhurdygurdy]

@@sootamander4398 Advice from one Hurdy Gurdy player to any aspiring ones: They are actually very fairly priced for the amount of work and labor that goes into them. Most HG makers work for a slave wage and do it for the love of the instrument. You can get a good starter model for as little as €800 these days, but you must practice caution to not be taken in by the many scams on Etsy and eBay. The most expensive ones may reach €10-15,000 or nore but a violin or piano of comparable quality would cost multiples of that. All things considered, the Gurdy is not "absurdly expensive" at all.

[@sootamander4398]

@@FitZhurdygurdy the only truly trustworthy people that I found are altar wind. If you know of any others I would love to hear about it. Thank you for the advice.

[@FitZhurdygurdy]

@@sootamander4398 I can assure you Altarwind are not that. They make very poor quality Gurdies and the price is shocking, you can get a far better instrument for half the cost of most of their models. George and Anwyn are lovely people but their Gurdies are very roughly thrown together and they refuse any advice on improving them. They will use bits of drawer handle as cranks, interior parts may be duct-taped in place, the keybox construction makes it difficult to play fluidly, the materials and woodworking are not instrument-gradeand they have a knack for claiming to be the inventors of several features that have been in existence since the 18th century. Much better options would be Dakota Strings (US based, new to the scene), and a plethora of European makers like Kerboeuf, Boudet, Chris & Bi Allen, Pouzadoux, MM Instruments, Nerdy Gurdy to name but a few. All of these makers have quality instruments available for between $800 and $3000 and you will be guaranteed something that will work properly and last a lifetime.

His luthier is Wolfgang Weichselbaumer. Patty is also a huge fan of bowing :)

[@raymondharnack4160]

It’s incredibly common, baseline really .

[@Teslijah]

As a trumpet and piano player I think they are switching the direction to separate the notes. With a trumpet, you can do it by using your tongue to stop the air, then pulling your tongue back in, with a tap-like motion. On piano since all the keys are already separate you just press them at different times. In musical terms, if you didn’t separate the notes, then you would be slurring them all together.

[@johnrutzen1861]

I love the way you turn the handle back and forth in time with the music. I've never seen the hurdy gurdy played like that before, it's so much better than the usual continuous sound it produces. Where did you learn that please?

[@oldpossum4860]

I have never heard it played that way either; adds a new dimension to the sound which can be a bit "mechanical" when all played in the same direction of rotation. Sounds similar to the Nickelharpa when played this way (unsurprisingly).

I have a hurdy gurdy and have been playing for about 8 years. I've never seen one played that way, either. Guess who's going to start working with this method?
