    That video was so helpful Sergio! I actually ordered a tenor from Marco and was wondering about the keyboard layout and differences with an alto, so thank you !

    Thank you Zanfoneando for this information. I will be receiving a Tenor Gurdy from HurdyGurdyUSA / Michael Opp. I have everything to learn. I so appreciate your explanations (and you rock the rolled r sound).

    Hi Sergio. Great video! Very helpfull. I have been trying to understand this for a long time.
    I have Soprano Kerboeuf, with 4 chanterelles, so I have G/c and D/G. I have been drawing key box diagrams like Hillsman's. to show how the keys are tuned for each tuning.
    You mentioned that in G, the large keys are like a piano keyboard, but I don't think they are. This confused me for a long time. There is an f# on the lower keys, which would be a black note on a piano keyboard I think.

    • @Sergio.GonzalezPrats

      Hello, the G keyboard on the alto / soprano gurdies works like on a piano
      On the tenor gurdies if you still tune to G the instrument behaves as a D/G therefore having F# in the bottom row, tenors need to be tuned to C if you want them to behave as G/C which would be like on a piano
      So the info of the video is accurate

    Thanks for the overview! One question: If soprano tend to be tuned to G4 unison, and altos to G3/G4 (or D3/D4), what would you say is the common tenor tuning? I'd guess C3/C4 (or G3/G4), but maybe I'm underestimating how much the +30mm affect the range?

    • @Sergio.GonzalezPrats
      @Sergio.GonzalezPrats  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are right, the common tuning is C3/C4 or G3/G4 even some people use G2/G3

    • @Elbiman
      @Elbiman 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Sergio.GonzalezPrats Oooh, good to hear that G2/G3 is a thing, thanks! Because that would be why I'd look into a tenor instrument in the first place. Now I know that I should figure out whether it's a G- or C-keyboard in addition to the tuning, the F# issue sounds like a constant annoyance if one switches between alto and tenor!

    • @Sergio.GonzalezPrats
      @Sergio.GonzalezPrats  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You only have the f# at bottom row if you tune the tenor c keyboard to open G, the transition is nothing if you tune to open C, same layout

    Why not compare soprano with alto as soprano is the most common,and show how soprano can be toned down to a lower scale by using heavier strings?alto and tenor instruments are not common.

    • @Sergio.GonzalezPrats
      @Sergio.GonzalezPrats  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For me a soprano would be the setting where the lowest melody is G4, anything with G3 or lower I’d call an alto
