    With an hour and a half of raw footage, the first edit of the main channel video was 25 minutes...a little too long. This video is all of the bits that are still very interesting but didn't make the final cut.
    So here's some more info for anyone who wants to get a little hurdy gurdy nerdy.

      @@Persun_McPersonson yeah, but if you're a hurdy gurdy enthusiast buying from a one-off luthier it seems like they could be even more innovative. I wouldn't consider spring-action on the keys enough of a change to have to call it a different instrument even, just a better hurdy gurdy.

      It doesn't seem to be something considered enough of an issue by those who become fanatics of it.
      If it was more popular, this change would definitely happen due to more people with varying wants/needs playing it, and the demand for such a feature would go up as a result.

    One thing I noticed you do is that your right hand isn't steady because you involuntarily emphasize the notes with the tempo such as guitarists normally do. It's more obvious at 3:20 as you move your leg. It sounds like a low rate tremolo pedal.

    Hey, violinist here. I have always loved the sound of the Hurdy Gurdy. It is definitely God's instrument and in the hands your new friend, it's the voice of the angels! Moreover, I have never seen a Hurdy Gurdy that is so gorgeous and with such attention to detail!
    ~
    Questions: How often do you have to replace the strings? And the cost of each? What type of strings do you use? I heard what your friend (Jim Kendros. I Googled his name and there are lots of videos with him in them to watch!) said about them in your other video, but I'm wondering what you would ask for if you walked into a music store. My dad owned a music store for 35 years, and I never heard of him selling "Hurdy Gurdy strings." He would have mentioned that, and even shown me some(!)
    ~
    I just found your channel and am enjoying your videos. Yes, I've SUBSCRIBED to both of your channels! I've been out of the behind-the-scenes music world for some time now, and I miss jamming with my friends. Watching your videos takes me back and has lifted my spirits in abundance. Thank you for that!
