This is amazing. I used to think this instrument was just a goofy little toy because of its name. Never knew it had such an interesting history. Another awesome video.
Yeah, leave it to the English to give it a goofy name… in France it’s called a vielle a roue, in Germany a dreilier, in Italy a zamfona all which mean “wheel fiddle”
Thank you for your comments! We live back in the woods, and really want folks to feel at home! I was drawn to the Gurdy BECAUSE it sounded like a bagpipe!🎶
I’ve heard of the hurdy-gurdy, but never saw or heard one. This was so interesting. Very reminiscent of a bagpipe. Thanks for sharing this charming instrument.
СПАСИБО ВАМ ЗА КРАСОТУ , ЗА СОПРОВОЖДЕНИИ ВО ВРЕМЕНИ , с Вами перенеслись во времена 14 века, когда подобный инструмент шарманка озвучивал ПРОСТРАНСТВО И РАДОВАЛ ЛЮДЕЙ!!! СПАСИБО ВАМ, ДОРОГАЯ ТРУЖЕНИЦА!!! СПАСИБО ВАМ!!!
You remind me of my elementary school teachers in the early part of the 80s. I remember them as being engaged, and enthusiastic about imparting knowledge to young people.
I only play eight instruments including bad piano from my childhood lessons. I always have been fascinated by hurdy gurdy's having seen same here on UA-cam only. Never in person. Glad you play it. They are amazing. I play the b flat clarinet, e flat alto clarinet, guitar, piano, concert ukulele, e flat saxophone and baritone ukulele plus a venture into soprano recorder a long time ago.
Glad you enjoy all those instruments! However, I’ve found that my saxophone ( my major band instrument) is not very fun to play alone, I think that’s why I enjoy the instruments that can accompany themselves. Even the Hurdy Gurdy has a drone accompaniment.
Yes, played in the high school Marching and Symphonic Bands - good ensembles but very small for parades and football (only 40 of us in band back when I was a student). Urban Los Angeles.@tibbits
The only other time I heard a reference to the Hurdy Gurdy was a Donovan song in the 1960s. Now I not only know what one looks like, I know what one sounds like. Thank you.
Oh! I am a big fan of odd/unusual/rare instruments, folk instruments, and instruments that make sounds that many people consider unattractive. Hurdy-gurdies have been my favourite of these since I was a kid! Lovely to hear one being played, I haven't heard one since I was in Dinan, France, in 2011, where there was a street musician playing one. Thank you!
Amazing.....Thankyou.....in the 80 there is a song....THE Hurdy Gurdy Man........now in my old-age I understands the song..greetings from South Africa 💖🇿🇦
Thank you sweet lady for allowing us to enjoy insteuments from by gone eras. Do agree with someone daying it reminded me of bag pipes. The particular reason i listened to this segment was because of the title ,Hurdy Gurdy . The only time i remember that word was back in the 70s by rock musicians using the word/ phrase Hurdy Gurdy back then and had no idea what they were saying ! And now i know! I think!😅
I love exotic instruments. I'm learning how to play a Zampona pan flute, have a bunch of Christmas songs worked up and they sound beautiful. Pan flute is one of the oldest instruments on the planet Earth 🌎 If not the oldest
I saw that the hobo on the polar express had one in his hands when we first meet him. It was so cool to recognize it for the first time this year! I want one so bad!
I dont know which is more amazing, the ibstruments you play as if born to them or the fact that you are able to play all these instruments from long ago! To add to this conundrum, you are a gifted and quite talented singer! Thank you for bringing this long forgotten music to brighten our Christmas season!
Just a few months ago I mentioned this instrument at work, and I don’t think anyone had ever heard of it. Now all you need is a Capuchin monkey and a tin cup to catch tips!
Venite adoremus dominus. The sound of this magic box resemble so much the one of traditional pipes! I'm Italian and we have the traditional "zampognari" (pipes players) during Christmas time, they always have an important role in the celebration and are always present into every Nativity Scene. "Adeste Fideles" is one of my favorite Christmas songs and the sound remind me of the narrow streets of San Gregorio Armeno, a beautiful part of Napoli where they make the most traditional Nativity Scenes. Thanks for this gift, you're very talented!
What a beautiful caring sharing. Thank you.
That’s encouraging…. Thanks!
Isn't that amazing how much that sounds like a bag pipe?? Thank you very much for sharing these instruments!
That’s what I thought
The drone strings and the constant sound in particular adds to that bagpipe effect, for sure
As similar as it may sound, bagpipes are completely different! They're closer to an oboe. haha
@@jovetj As a piper ,I must say well done at being very polite.
My thought exactly!
Love all the unique instruments and the history lessons with them, but then to actually hear them played? What a treat!
How wonderful Dee Dee. Just marvelous.
Thank you 🎶
Thank you for keeping such beautiful music alive, DeeDee.
Glad you enjoy it!
How beautiful! It sounds like bag pipes!😊
💕your introduction regarding the historic background of the Hurdy Gurdie instrument & its unusual sound. 💕
Many thanks!
I'm loving the videos your making music plus whatever stories you squeeze in!!
This is amazing. I used to think this instrument was just a goofy little toy because of its name. Never knew it had such an interesting history. Another awesome video.

I have always enjoyed music from the pre-renaissance and the renaissance periods. Thank you for sharing your talents and knowledge.
Awesome instrument! Thanks!
I love your colorful, beautiful clothes! Your home, too, is looks so pleasing and homey. The hurdy gurdy has a bag pipe sound! Thank you!
Thank you for your comments! We live back in the woods, and really want folks to feel at home! I was drawn to the Gurdy BECAUSE it sounded like a bagpipe!🎶
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
I really appreciate how you educate in addition to performing on the instruments. I wish more people would do this!
I love the hurdy gurdy. I describe the sounds as a violin and bagpipes having a baby. Would love to see one and attempt to play it some day.
The sound reminds me of a bagpipe! Very interesting story behind this!
A history lesson AND beautiful music! Doesn’t get any better than that!! Thank you! 😊
I’ve heard of the hurdy-gurdy, but never saw or heard one. This was so interesting. Very reminiscent of a bagpipe. Thanks for sharing this charming instrument.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice! If I wasn't watching I would think I'm listening to bag pipes
Props to the guy that named it. Truly sounds like he had a blast. And it does sound like electronic bagpipes.
Thanks. Merry Christmas DeeDee!
I've been enjoying your playing, thank you.

This is so coool! Thank u for sharing
I was born in 1956 so anything that happened before that I’ll have to take your word for it.
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord! ❤
Such a beautiful experience to hear it played on such an interesting instrument!
First heard a hurdy gurdy from Medieval Babes ....loved the sound! And yes.....reminds me of the bagpipes...which my son's father played...😊
Hurdy Gurdy sounds a bit like the bagpipes. Beautiful THANK YOU

I was blessed to be able to play it in France,too! A local college had me start out their concert coming down the isle playing a French tune!
Wonderful!!
This is fabulous, and YOU'RE fabulous 🤩 Really enjoyed your videos, will watch more! Love from London 🇬🇧
I never knew what a hurty-gurdy was The only time I heard that phrase was the song, The Hurdy Gurdy Man. Too funny. This was really cool.😊
Hahaha, right That’s what MANY people think!
It sounds amazingly like bagpipes, especially with the continuous drone note.
OMG How wonderful is this...... old musical instruments being brought back to life by you ,wonderful lady....... THANK YOU!!!!!!!! 🙏🙏❤❤
