The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - The Wolven Storm (Priscilla's Song) Lute Cover

I hope you enjoy my classical arrangement of the Wolven Storm for the Lute. For two years I have been practising this instrument, and I have attempted to capture the feeling of the original song while adding some flavour in the variations. SUBSCRIBE for more, like if you enjoyed, comment if it made you feel something!
This video is a tribute to the Witcher game series and books, as well as to many of the great guitar musicians that inspired me to start this channel, such as Jonas Lefvert, Lukasz Kapuscinski, Harry Murrell, and IkuinenOnni. You guys are the best!

Lovely playing on a beautiful instrument!

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to see my arrangement! I'm flattered to receive praise by such a virtuous musician.

This was a masterpiece! I also see Jonas, Harry and Lukasz here, what a bard party! :)

[@LordVelari]

Thank you for the great performance and inspiration! This music is my soul - gentle, dark, and melancholic. I’m now just a guitar beginner, but I swear to god one day - maybe 10 years or 15 years - I’ll be able to play it fluently with lute. Inshallah.

Just amazing! I will use this one for my next D&D Sessions as backround music ; D Love to hear more wonderful lute songs from you -> subscribed

[@hauptmannfloete1106]

I do hope I get around to more soon. Corona kind messed up my plans for more videos for a short while. I had problems with my left arm and I changed jobs, moved town and had no way to shoot video. MIght have the money for my own camera soon though.

[@KikiTheHobo]

I only play the guitar, but am interested in playing the lute and your video finally convinced me! Where is the best way to start looking to buy one? :-)

[@hauptmannfloete1106]

Sorry for taking a while! I bought mine from Thomann, otherwise Roosebeck sells Lutes that are affordable. If you have the money, you should probably invest in one handmade by a luthier. My recommendation would be Dieter Schossig.

I've got a guitar tab of the song as well. It hasn't got any of the variations of this tab, but it's an accurate notation of what the lute plays in the original song.

[@zombabeger]

after watching this i begin searching for lute in malaysia... there is none and later found the one that need import from USA... and it cost 3k in malaysia money..... that was expensive... and it is not even good grade lute... saw a high grade lute it cost 13k.... guess i will stick with violin for now.... f.y.i my violin is the cheapest in the market cost me 100 only.😅... hooe i can get my hand on lute someday and begin my practice and debut with it.

[@hauptmannfloete1106]

I had to look for a while too, bought mine from Thomann. Sadly it's not being sold right now/anymore. I wish you the best of luck to find one.

[@CercleBruggeFan]

Do you use Aquila strings? Nice playing mate.

[@hauptmannfloete1106]

I'm actually not quite sure. I will probably switch to Aqula strings in the future since my singing string broke and I have to replace it. Only Aquila has sufficiently light gauges for my lute. It's kind of a lightweight, soft instrument.

[@CercleBruggeFan]

@@hauptmannfloete1106 I bought one of these Thomann Lutes a couple of months ago and I found the action very light. I also have to say that it is the only lute that I have played in my life.

[@hauptmannfloete1106]

@@CercleBruggeFan The action is light, and the string gauges are very light. I went to a luthier when my high g string broke, and he advised me to buy aquila or just get nylon string in 0,40 or 0,45 mm strength from the fishing store.

[@dummy1258was_already_taken]

If may I give you little advice, you can increase a clarity of the sound with original lute technique. You use the guitar technique, but better sound of the lute requires lute technique.

[@grosbeak6130]

Not necessarily. I find nothing here in his performance to vouch for what your claiming. The guitar and the lute are not from different planets but share the same family of DNA. Yes they are unique unto themselves, but like siblings are sometimes overlapping in personality traits and willingly and nicely share.

[@Sam-qj4kp]

Do you know what's the name of the music instrument that have been used in the original ost?

[@jackschitt7783]

Something doesn't seem right. Boings. As a stringed instrument player myself those boings drive me through a wall if it's happening when I'm playing. You're more tolerant than I. Well played! The buzzing boings mean something with the instrument's setup needs attention or care.

If the lowest string is a D or can be safely tuned to it, yes.

@@hauptmannfloete1106 or if I don’t have a string that can be tuned that low, could I play it in a higher key or something? My lute arrives later this month so I’m just learning.

lute does make a wonderful sound.... not luke skywalker though😅

[@bam9917]

I bet tuning it is a pain in the ass

[@hauptmannfloete1106]

You bet it is. Especially when you restring it - you have to fiddle the strings into the tuning peg box, preferably tie a not with the nylon/nylgut strengs around the tuning peg, tune it up, retune the thing for about 1-2 weeks until the strings finally settle. Don't apply too much pressure on the peg or it might just snap. I bend the strings a lot to help them settle but I find that you still have to fiddle around with peg soap and being gentle while letting them settle in.
