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,...

[@VeganAJohnH]

To play such a fine instrument as good as Andrey & many other do must take years of practice & dedication & to remember so many tunes is just amazing. The person who designed this fine sounding instrument must have been a musical & sound genius.

[@SnazzyArcade]

I'm a gurdy player and gurdies are unique in that they're kind of a bastardization of a bunch of different instruments. I'm not sure who Andrey's luthier is but they all produce instruments that have an incredibly unique sound.

[@TheSulross]

this instrument is underrated and sadly a bit too obscure. It's sound evokes such an ethereal context - out of time, out one's cureent reality and being thrust into another otherworldly - but not in a pop scifi sense of otherworldly, but instead a transcendent otherworldly

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.
