I have heard some hurdy-gurdy music in the past including recordings. You have the nicest timbre I've ever heard from this instrument.

A short but heartfelt tribute Nigel "You are a master of your art sir. A unique voice as a composer, and a virtuoso of an instrument which, in your hands, talks to its awed listeners" Long may you continue.

[@nigeleaton1]

Nigel's albums are worth tracking down.

[@nigeleaton1]

Also check out my bandcamp and Spotify , cheers

[@bassguitarfan2010]

This is excellent news! I didn’t know you had material on those platforms! I’m listening now on Spotify!

[@samhaine6804]

such a gorgeous instrument

[@philippecopin1517]

What a beautiful song and as always, what a great sound you get from your green-topped hurdy-gurdy (made by your father if I'm not mistaken) I have to say my favorite of your hurdy-gurdies... thank you for these gifts...

[@nigeleaton1]

Thank you so much

[@elizabethtruman7164]

Always return to his channel

[@JohnGottschalk]

Your music makes me wanna create a bard character in a DnD campaign, and then break out your songs to highlight moments.

[@nigeleaton1]

Do it!!!!

[@theactualizingwoman]

Its beautiful x

[@Marcus-ym2kg]

This is so cool. Thank you for this! 🙏🏻

[@ruthhollis3912]

It's beautiful. My little choir sing the Halsway Carol at Christmas, a favourite. Any plans to make a vocal version of this?

[@nigeleaton1]

Ooh that's a thought . I'll ask Iain (he wrote the halsway lyrics) will get back to you

[@TradMusician-pk9pj]

Very nice. Moody, haunting. Is this an original tune?

[@nigeleaton1]

I sure hope so hahahhaha

[@wulfshead]

Wonderful. Nigel, can you tell me what your basic studio set up is here please?

[@nigeleaton1]

@@wulfshead sure it's GarageBand , a focusrite scarlet2 the gurdy has pickups and valve preamps and with a clip on mic too. All the instruments come with logic which no longer works and spitfire labs cello

[@wulfshead]

@nigeleaton1 that's fantastic, thanks for letting me know. Amazing that it's simply through garageband! Does the preamp run before you run in to the interface? Incidentally, which preamp is it? Please excuse all the questions! Just an interested musician and gear geek! I have recently discovered your work and am enjoying it immensely! You are an incredible musician and carrier of our old traditional music and instruments. Thank you.

[@JeremyPickett]

Absolutely wonderful. Fellow, retired gurdier :D Is that tune in Gows or Petries? Excellent right hand work my brother.

[@nigeleaton1]

Oh is that a tune book? No I wrote it. Credits on the listing , and thanks btw

[@JeremyPickett]

@@nigeleaton1 fantastic my friend.

[@calaxsis8059]

Hey where can I get that particular hurdy gurdy? Or gurdys like it I’ve always wanted to try this instrument but never know where I could buy one other than that fantastic video!

[@nigeleaton1]

Thanks . The best place to start is maybe the nerdy gurdy kit or a robert mandel symphonie or a Catnip B . If you're serious and can afford it then get a Marco gamarra or a kerboeuf . Prices range from free for the kit (nearly) to several thousand and then on up
