Vevlira - Hurdy-gurdy - Swedish Polska

[@spitfire31f11]

Bravissimo! 🤩 Rent hypnotiskt spel!

[@MatteV2]

Ååh jag älskar det! Hade varit underbart att lära sig spela vevlira.. Det låter så otroligt vackert.

[@JOBT0]

Nice, you play so well. Old Swedish folk song, love the rhythm. I'm Swedish. :D

[@Solvinden]

Kan bara instämma.. För några år sedan spelade en kille på T-Centralens perrong och jag blev helt förhäxad och kom en halvtimme för sent till jobbet, men det var det värt! Keep up the good work!

[@remingtonzechariah6687]

I guess it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch new movies online?

[@abstractpuma]

@@remingtonzechariah6687 Just use Netflix. That's extremely random though

[@lcarsstgundam]

Beautiful! Love the dynamic control.

[@Ivan_Tkalenko]

Fantastic!

[@philouvielle]

super...c'est vraiment trop beau a bientot

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thanks MrFair!! I am working on it.. !! This is a polska from Älvdalen, a part of Dalarna (dalacarlia) in the middle of Sweden... It is after Lars Orre. You can find a recording with the swedish group BOOT for example..

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Keep up the good work. Love listening to such tunes :)

[@Hellso100]

guuuud vad jag älskar detta ljudet, är det någon här som vet vart man kan lära sig spela en vevlira inom sverige eller så när som möjligt?

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

It is fantastic to get this nice and kind critic from you! a big thank you for taking time to tell me that you like what I do ! Hope to see you somewhere one day !! good luck with your hurdy-gurdy :-) !!

[@MrFair]

Yeah, I know German Diaz :D As a final comment to this video: I'm currently waiting for my first hurdy gurdy (by Gotschy/Alexandra Betz) and let's just say your video makes the wait easier (nice music to listen to) and more difficult (like "I want to play a hurdy gurdy right now!") at the same time :D I also enjoy all of the other videos I find of you on KZbin, you're really a great player. Snurkullan is an amazing tune, by the way!

[@andersekengren]

sjukt bra :)

[@Appelible]

Haha jag snackade med dig på tåget idag :D

[@pocketgross]

Bravo, Complimenti!!!

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Tack för att jag fick spela för er =) !

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thank you very much !!

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

THank you so much !

[@Anglo-Saxon9]

I wish hurdy gurdy's weren't so expensive.

[@ellahurdygurdy3827]

you should go and visit ancestore.eu - Michalina, Eluveities Gurdy Player opened a store and the Gurdies prices are quite okay!

[@NicholasKonradsen]

they aren't. you get what you pay for when you're in the 1000 euros and higher range. But the higher you get, the cheaper it is. this is one of the most mechanically demanding musical instruments that exist, so the ones that seem crazy expensive are actually usually underpriced when you consider the time it takes to make one.

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thank you Oscar =) ! It was made for you and the other galicians !!! =)

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thank you !!!

[@Moonfreeze]

Låter så jävla metal. Som inbyggd distortion.

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Merci Philipe! Merci beaucoup ! =)

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thank you very much Alana =)

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thank you:-) It is made by Weichselbaumer.. it is the old instrument of the spanish fantastic hg-player German Diaz ( check him out if you didnt!!) I think it was made 2004... I got it 2010.. :-)

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Tack ska du ha ! Såklart du ska lära dig !!

[@fraioscar]

Bravo!!!

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Tack matti !

[@banthapodoo]

Jag såg dej också på tåget :)

[@joelstewartinstruments]

Hi there, I keep returning to this video too for the same reasons. And I have a Phoenix Ultra by Gotschy/Betz. It has taken me a while to get it set up how I want it, but it's pretty good! I have a video on my channel (just improvising -so much to learn), but there is information on how I have set it up there). Johannes, we met for a few seconds at Chateau d'Ars last year and I think you know my friend Anna Rheingans... :)

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thanks a lot :) Sorry for very late answer!!

[@MrFair]

Really great playing! To be honest, I'm watching this video quite a lot at the moment, since I really enjoy it. Like the different dynamics you use and the little variations over the melody. Your trumpet playing is also amazing. By the way, do you know the name of this polska?

[@MattiNorlin]

Bra!!

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Hi Joel! I will check out your video! Cool.. :-) See you in Chateau d´Ars !!

[@joelstewartinstruments]

Hi Johannes, :) yes I plan to be there!

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thanks Greg!! :-)

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thank you Romain!:-)

[@sickninjamonkey]

Var får man egentligen tag på en sån där? :3

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Thanks for all the nice comments really !!! :-)

[@AndersJackson]

Telling the truth are not being nice... ;-)

[@MrFair]

Thank you! I'm still mesmerized by your playing. I was also wondering: who made your instrument? Is it a Weichselbaumer?

[@cosiartus]

YEAH! hard swedish groove... Radical NORTH

[@GrootsieTheDog]

What is the time signature of the first part?

[@MrFair]

The whole tune is basically in 3/4, but it has its peculiarities. It's a Swedish polska (a type of dance). Polskas have the accents on the 1 and the 3. Furthermore, this is a special type of polska were the first beat is shortened and the two is a bit elongated. You can't really notate it. Some people write tunes like this down in 9/8 or even 9/16 (with a subdivision of 2+4+3), but this doesn't really reflect the rhythm correctly. It's somewhere inbetween. The easiest way, in my opinion, is just to think of it as a 3/4 and tap the 1 and the 3 with your foot.

[@GrootsieTheDog]

Thanks. Yes, that's what I thought. It seems there are some phrasing changes though. It's not consistent. Possibly an extra beat here and there because it doesn't always come back down on the one - unlike the second half which is consistently three and the phrasing fits into the meter.

[@Remo860]

Satyricon hade en på scen. Störtcoolt.

[@HaileISela]

underbara!

[@Remo860]

Låter nästan arabiskt.

[@Templarofsteel88]

Eluveitie brought me here, anyone else? :P

[@fornamnefternamn3123]

sounds kinda modern with an old instrument

[@Rockstarhippie]

What key is your hurdy gurdy tuned to?

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

The open strings for melodies are C, G and c. I use capos for different drones.. Here in A.. :)

[@maltepalte-e3o]

sprängare

[@migrantrecordings]

polska efter lars orre, älvdalen

[@JohannesGeworkianHellman]

Exakt! :)
