That double keyboard is really amazing! It creates a new instrument altogether.

Thanks Nigel, finally I get to know something about the double keyboard set up you have. The possibilities from there must be beyond vast. I know you say you’re not suited to teaching but it would be positively wonderful if you’d consider making a video on your trompette technique. It’s the hardest thing I feel.

Wow! Amazing sound! Your videos are very helpful. A kit built gurdy come into my shop for repairs. It's the first I've worked on so I've been searching for info especially about strings. There sure is lots to learn.

Hi there! Is it possible to have a Hurdy Gurdy with a melody string that sounds as low as the lowest bass drone? Or would the thickness of the string cause it to sound odd when played with the keys? I know the keys are usually used to play higher notes for the melody, but I imagine owning a different setup that I've yet to see, something where you can play a melody similar to a Cello/Bass Drone for one string, and higher with the other two. I'd love to know if/why this is simply impossible or impractical. Thanks for your videos!

some plyers get down to the c below mid c, but lower than that? I don't know, best join hurdy gurdy community on fb, they know everything

Thank you so much for this fascinating information. Is the (brilliant!) double keyboard something your dad came up with, or are there historical examples?
@nigeleaton12 жыл бұрын
it's very similar to a nykelharpa system, but adapted for use with a wheel, yes dad did design this adaption because the nykelharpa system can't work as nicely as dads version. it's complex to explain but the important aspect is that with dads design the keys push the string "around" the wheels edge, the string follows the curve so the pressure on the wheel is constant
@sekarenggal63052 жыл бұрын
@@nigeleaton1 Thank you for the explanation. Intriguing stuff! So do the tangents pivot somehow, to follow the curve, rather than just slide? I need to take a close look at a nykelharpa. Were many other hurdy-gurdies made with two keyboards?

I love your work Nigel, and although I'm sure the question has already been answered, where did you get your instruments?

the first one is made by the Pajot Jeune workshop around 1900, the second dark one is made by my dad Chris Eaton, he made 20 double keyboard versions but he's retired now unfortunately
