      He’s extremely lucky to have not ever played with another hurdy gurdy player. I once witnessed a group of around a dozen, and it was pure torture to politely sit through the entire performance. I say this having gotten myself through learning to play violin and having a love of bagpipes, including massed pipes. One hurdy gurdy is fun, would love to have one, but can’t recommend a group!

    I like the hurdy gurdy. Mate of mine had one stolen in a burglary at his house in London. amazingly he got it back after somebody bought it in a flea market in Romania. Guy who bought it saw a sticker with my mate's name on it, Googled him and saw the Facebook post about his instruments getting stolen and got in touch. he got it back in time for a gig he was due o play with it, the last gig I went to before the Covid lockdown.

      it just seems so that he is picking up so quickly. it comes because of his years of training with other stringed instrument, there is always a treshold sooner or later one will bump into. and at that point will be decided if you willing to put in more work for the sake of perfection on that instrument. one can`t just leave out the years it`s needed for to really master an instrument. anyway it is just a nice try nothing more

    when i was a kid in the early ‘50’s, we’d visit my mom’s parents in Chicago. there was a really old lady who did have a big hurdy gurdy that she’d take around on wheels - sort of a smaller player piano in size. she’d play it on the streets for handouts. only i think she played it on her own, turning the crank and playing it with her other hand. i had no idea till a week ago that there were hand held instruments. i like hearing the old ballads from medieval times. very rich sound. 🌷🌱

    This brings back memories of walking around the street market in Breedsraat, Utrecht, Holland.
    A gentleman was playing a rather large hurdy gurdy, something which he wheeled into the market square. It had large bass notes, with very soft edges. He was very slowly spinning the crank, whilst playing, and singing along. The sound was so beautiful.

      @Big Boss that's going into the topic of what type of band they are, are they a super group that intends to build the song to show off the ability of the players, or are they a normal band that use their ability to show off the song, either is fine. But usually a solo part is used to give a song a climax, I just listened again to all the song. They all are good songs, but most of them have an overly use of the "non electric" or rather "ethnic" instruments, maybe it's just not my cup of tea, but I just think that rebirth have a better song build, just a total drive that would pump you up any time, the other songs are rather monotonous, maybe except thousandfold, there is place to show the ability of the players, but for my taste it's not needed to be overused, which in most of the songs you mentioned it happens....

      I'm asthmatic (or at least I used to be) and my lungs were never the problem with playing bagpipes. If you have a set with a decent seal, the first thing that will become fatigued as you play is your arm, then eventually your lips once your arm is trained to keep the pressure up. Hurdy gurdy is a beautiful instrument though and makes for a very nice accompaniment to bagpipes as well.

      That's very in line with what Robert Moog meant by "synthesizer." He meant that it creates sound, not that it was synthetic. I guess nearly every instrument creates sound, even acoustic instruments.

    Donovan was a famous pop singer who wrote the hit song "Hurdy Gurdy Man" in 1968. All these years I never knew there is something actually called a hurdy gurdy.

    I was watching a worshipping group from Israel, and this group was mostly composed of harps. I did see a tambourine, a guitar, shofar, and a Hurdy Hurdy; which I couldn't see too well on the video, so I was curious about this instrument because I have never seen one before. I decided to Google it, but I first had to know the name of the instrument. Once I had the name, did another search; and your video popped up which I must say; it was more than I bargain for. I wanted to know about this instrument, and with your video; I was able to get an entire history on the Hurdy Hurdy, plus see different kinds of the same instrument. Thank you so much for this magnificent video. I'm so glad that, you also brought an expert on the subject. He reminded me of my father who was a Cuatro (ten strings instrument similar to a guitar) maker and player, and our house was always full of different instruments. Especially Cuatros, which is Puerto Rico's favorite instrument. I'm was highly impressed with this instrument. I love musical instruments. All kinds. You do deserve a thumbs up, and a subscription because I'm curious about your other videos. Best wishes, and may THE LORD JESUS bless you and keep you, along with all your family, and all your viewers. May all of you rest, in the shade of GOD Almighty. Amen!!! 🙏💯🫵☮️❤️🩸🐑🔥🕊️

    The versatility of this instrument is stunning, I'm really love the sound of it. I'm really glad that the hurdy is still an acknowledged instrument, even if not that widely used. I really enjoyed the Black Sails OST from Bear McCreary, he also used one for that.
