The hurdy gurdy must have been a masterpiece of medieval engineering. I can imagine them taking the same care of an instrument like this as we would a priceless guitar, or set of drums.
You'd be surprised to hear that after a brief period of popularity with rich folk for being a masterpiece of engineering, I read somewhere that these instruments had a bad reputation because homeless prostitutes would often play them for cash because they were easy to learn.
In the beginning it was. But then it became a very common instrument and even beggars could afford one. That's when it changed from a sophisticated instrument for the nobility and clergy to a common instrument for the lower classes.
This sounds like music being played during the beginning of a movie, telling you about past events leading up to the story in the film. I can imagine a narrator telling the story with this playing.
As the snow falls, cast white flakes against the grey sky, a lone figure trudges on. Through freezing mud and mire, to reach the hearth of his heart's desire. The fell shadows swaying, the wind shifting the pines. The lone wolf and it's crying. Still our hero marches on. Freezing fingers that no gauntlets could keep warm from winter's cold biting maw. He keeps on carrying what little he has to keep him warm: the fire inside & strength of his limbs are all that remain to move the metal, the weight of war, the cold, hard steel of a knight's attire. The ember inside, his heart's desire,...
A young man told his mother 'By this blade I'll prove my worth I'll leave my mark upon this world' His blade broke far before his dream Who lies beside him in the snow No one remembered how he screamed For a mother who will never know

Colonel Kurtz. One way to keep "undesireable" people from settling in your neighborhood would be to have several all cranking out different tunes at 3:44 a m. Ha, ha!
I knew of the name of the instrument long before I ever heard it, and assumed it was pretty raucous and lame, judging from the name. Then I heard it played and I was entranced, it is an exquisite instrument deserving of a much more dignified name.
It's called the hurdy gurdy because the wheel will warp over time making a consistent sound impossible. And they usually don't sound this good, they usually squeak and squawk.
I lived in a house with a man who played bagpipes and the hurdy gurdy. His wife played and sang everything else, the kids and cats ran around underfoot, and the other tenant was a bagpipe maker. You were really careful where you sat, but otherwise it was a happy time and place. This is much more serious than we ever got, and this ... pipe organ with strings ... is magnificent. Thank you for the video and the memories.
Aye. We came here as farmers. We leave this land as warriors. This is our home. We will never give it up. To this ground, I lay my feet,, my plow and my sword. And one day, me. I stand until I sleep, forever more. This, is my home.
The entire universe would be diminished if there weren't people like you to share these kinds of experiences with people like us. I am so grateful to you for this. Thank you!
This was a real treat to see. I've never heard one of these instruments played before. I've seen them in photos and wondered how they sounded and were played. THANKS
Not to much music gives me chills anymore but this does as soon as i hear the first minute. It just makes me feel like im falling back in time to past lives.
To play such a fine instrument as good as Andrey & many other do must take years of practice & dedication & to remember so many tunes is just amazing. The person who designed this fine sounding instrument must have been a musical & sound genius.
I'm a gurdy player and gurdies are unique in that they're kind of a bastardization of a bunch of different instruments. I'm not sure who Andrey's luthier is but they all produce instruments that have an incredibly unique sound.
Because special thing's are usually underground ,once they become mainstream the magic disappears ;the corporates take over and what do you get ? Answer boyzone doing a syncopated little dance with a hurdy gurdy or even a Crumhorn, God's teeth, but seriously;anyone just coming across this instrument for the first time, check out Gilles Chabenat who not only plays traditional styles, but contemporary as well !
So beautiful!💖💖 I have spent 30 years involved in medieval history, and this is my favorite instrument. It takes me away from here, into the fields and woods, to happy memories.
The hurdy gurdy is such a unique instrument that has a sound all its own. That is why i love the sound of it. Its as its narrating the past and telling a story while telling the harsh truth that life sometimes brings. Sounds beautiful and rough at the same time.
Perhaps, it is simply from a time long forgotten-burned from the world and wiped from slates. You, fair wanderer, may have stumbled 'pon the key to something long lost, long forgotten... Seek it out if you wish, though there's no telling how far that winding path reaches... (Written both to match mood, and to genuinely encourage seeking this "memory" out) (Also sorry to bother you so long after. I simply couldn't resist!)
Our tales of medieval last, but we do not make it, nor survive. Whatever is left we must prevail but cannot, whoever we are, whatever we are we at least made it this far and must stand. Our days of our survival is a sad gruesome tale of this song. All I can think about and remember from where I come from and how I made it this long. On my last dying breath I wish for us to only make it for once and not live as such no more. Amen to you Andrey Vinogradov for this astounding performance these days, may you live on.

I was trying to find inspiration for a new character I've made and this hits perfectly. It sounds like what plays when someone tells a story at the campfire
"And so the Heralds marched north, against the piercing winds of the tundra, in haste to deliver the message: the king has passed, and the throne calls for its new host. It was in those days that the Lords of Alwen dwelled in the steppes of the eastern lands, and it was also in those days they would ride for the reclamation of their kingdom, and the seat of the high king." Something I just made up in my head to this lol
Woaou !!! Quelle magnifique complainte, on est entraîné par la musique qui déroule une histoire note après note !!! Vraiment superbe, bravo l'artiste 👏👏👏
Bonjour, bonsoir, franchement il n'y a pas beaucoup de français qui s'expriment sur cette vidéo. Par ma foi cela me navre que les golons soient à la manœuvre.
I can't even... it's just so beautiful. My two favorite instruments are bagpipes and violin. This has the drone of the bagpipes while having that sad, string sound of the violin. I just love it. Thank you so much for your art. It inspires me.
this instrument is underrated and sadly a bit too obscure. It's sound evokes such an ethereal context - out of time, out one's cureent reality and being thrust into another otherworldly - but not in a pop scifi sense of otherworldly, but instead a transcendent otherworldly
This could be played in many movies, at many different parts of each of them , but the song is about a dark path of a warrior. His life, entirely encapsuled in a piece of music that has not one mood, but many; change, flow, the way the instrument speaks creates shifts in mood and atmosphere.
I’ve always loved the sound of this instrument and I first saw it used by “The Decemberists“ for “Sons and Daughters”. I think that instrument is a key element to the beauty of that song. Beautifully played here too.
I literally heard this amazing man playing this amazing instrument less than 20 minutes ago, and I already feel my life changed! How wonderful! Others have observed the hurdy gurdy the music of several instruments and music of several cultures. I love it!!
I can recommend watching Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" DVD. one of the instruments used is a hurdy gurdy. Start to finish it is a Most Excellent DVD! I hope to be able to buy my own copy someday.
Thank you very much. This is just stunning. I feel like I’m hearing through the music the sound of an incredibly colossal, powerful, amazing legend. Love it
This was one of the last things I sent my dad before he passed. We both have a passion for music and unusual things. This among many other songs will remind me of him. Thank you for the great hurdy gurdy work.
I have never seen a hurdy gurdy player use that back and forth motion on the handle, but it makes perfect sense. It's like he's bowing with the parchment wheel. I would love to know the brand of HG he is using.
As a trumpet and piano player I think they are switching the direction to separate the notes. With a trumpet, you can do it by using your tongue to stop the air, then pulling your tongue back in, with a tap-like motion. On piano since all the keys are already separate you just press them at different times. In musical terms, if you didn’t separate the notes, then you would be slurring them all together.
Only real 1000s kids remember this...
lmao
One random kid: my childhood
Oh don't get me started on those "millennials". ;)
underrated af
And they’re watching from the spirit world 😊👏🏻🥰‼️
It's like if bagpipes and a violin fused with an accordion.
I love it. Thank you for sharing your skill with this instrument with the world.
And a bass
im sure if those instruments were played together someone will say "wow it sounds like a hurdy gurdy"
I think this is the exact way to describe a hurdy gurdy tbh
i just found out about this instrument today, and i immediately thought its just a stringed version of the bagpipe

These things are amazing. Why on earth don't we see more of these?
