Korobeiniki on the Nerdy Gurdy

[@flamingomtn]

Very nice work on setting up your Nerdy. Especially love how well your trompettes are working. That's not an easy task. I love that you're actually playing it, too. Proof that the high notes don't have to sound like dying cats. ;-) Beautiful job.

Thank you. The upper (C) trompette is a bit of a gamble and seems to work when the stars align and the air pressure is just right. It is closer to witchcraft than science to get everything working all at once. I also replaced the high chanterelle with a metal viola A string, because the gut string that came with the kit was always screeching in the upper octave, even after fiddling with all screws and rosin and cotton for weeks. It is not a bad instrument, but one that takes a lot of patience during setup.

That upper chanter is a victim of geometry, in that as you press the keys they force the string harder into the wheel. And as you know too much string pressure gives the cat screech.

It took me awhile to figure out where I have heard this song before. It turns out it is also the main theme for Tetris.

Спасибо за эту мелодию! Инструмент чудесный. Забавно, как сложно теперь избавиться от ассоциаций с Tetris
