Cody - you are most welcome. I can't WAIT for you to get your Nip. I know Radoslaw is trying real hard to do stuff while he is injured, but we all have to wait (me too!) but it will be great once the waiting is over!!!
@@noelle-beaudin I will be forever patient and understanding of his situation. I'm just glad that he is recovering, however slow it may be. I was worried for him.
The timing of this video is perfect for me too. I have just been gifted a Gurdy that needs some work and I'm looking forward to learning to play it. I've subscribed to catch the following videos.
Excellent! You will be happy to know the next one is coming out over this weekend! We are trying to release the next chapter every couple of weeks in order to keep at a good pace for the beginner. 🙂
Thank you for the tips. I'm receiving my Aplo in a few weeks and can't wait to get started. Hopefully get to meet a few of you folks at a workshop in the future.
Well, I don't know if I'm amazing, but thanks! Video #4 is coming out in the next couple of weeks - we are having a lot of fun doing them and getting great feedback.
Thank you for this video , I just inherited three Gurdies and would love to make it to Gurdyworld in New Hampshire the end of the month , Sergio sent me some good information for the event .Being from Quebec, I am not sure the border will let me through with three Gurdies,they might think I am trying to sale them I am affraid, well see . I am a music teacher and luthier and will be looking forward to building my first Hurdy Gurdy, I teach violin and guitar, it will be really great to meet you all at the gathering :o) Merci , thanks again for all the tips here now I am already learning so much , you are a great teacher !
Holy smokes! Three gurdies! It would be great to meet you at the workshop. I don't think you would have a problem crossing the border with three instruments, because you are just bringing them to show us and for advice. 🙂
Absolutely. There are a number of great recommendations on www.gurdyworld.com/ and I would say to read through all that information first on your own to make a good decision. There are some other newer beginner models that have come out since the GurdyWorld Blogs, and one other to look at would be the MM Trigo, but in the G/C tuning and not the bog standard GGG tuning. I personally think the Nerdy Gurdy Linotte is the best value for the money though and you can't go wrong with Jaap and Fay - they are outstanding people that stand behind their instruments.
Hmm... I watched part 4 first, then came to this one because most of the way through that I was wondering what notes you have on the keyboard. Where is that covered? Although I watched you play a scale, I couldn't see which keys you were playing. Is it fully chromatic? Are the black parts also keys?
Sure. If you go back and watch the first 3 videos in the series, the keys, note names and placement are all covered specifically. Yes, the HG is chromatic, although there are some diatonic HGs out there, this video series covers the G/C chromatic HG specifically.
@@noelle-beaudin Okay. Thanks. I've watched 1 and 4, so far. This is what I find frustrating about video learning vs something written where I can try to skip through to find what I want to know, then go back. I find it hard to sit through something like this hoping it will get to the point I wanted to know about.
@@TooSlowTube I know, it is a pain. It sounds like you need Part II the most - and in the liner notes of the video there are markers for the places you can skip ahead to. If you need specific help, just book a time with me on deathbygurdy.com and I can help you out 🙂
@@noelle-beaudin Thanks. The last two thirds of part three were more what I was looking for. The black keys are hard to see in a video, so I wasn't clear if there were notes on black keys between the ones you were playing - and initially I thought only the white keys were keys, then switched to thinking only the black ones were. Might I suggest a labelled close up diagram of the keyboard, on your website? As someone who's never actually seen a hurdy gurdy, other than on TH-cam, that's the part that was least clear, to me.
This is why we're trying to put information out there for everyone that is easy to find and understand. As far as instruments go, there's actually two very good immediate options. The Linotte from Nerdy Gurdy and the Trigo from MM Instruments. Both very affordable and you can get them within a 3 months shipped safely directly to you.
@@modelenginerding6996 the Linotte is excellent. I have two students that purchased a Linotte from Fay and Jaap after already owning an Alpo, and now they never play the Aplo. The linotte is tuned properly and is the best instrument you can own for the price! Excellent decision.
...only friend...talk about putting all your eggs in one basket! Maybe having more than one metrognome is a good idea. In case you think the first one has it out for you.
You actually do not need that much $ to start. There are some excellent and very affordable options that are listed here: gurdyworld.com/gurdyblogs/cheap-hurdy-gurdies/ :-) Good luck, at least you don't want to learn bassoon - entry prices for that instrument are ~$4300 ;-)
A very rare teacher you are, you explained why things are done.
Thank you! It's important to know why or else you can't know why not!
speak like Yoda you do
Wow now all I need is a hurdy gurdy
I like how she adds humor to her teaching, makes it fun..
Thank you! I try my best!
Perfect timing! I’m just about to finish my Nerdy Gurdy Linotte build. Can’t wait to get started, thank you for the video!
Excellent! Glad we could help!
Thank you for this. I look forward to the next videos.
You are welcome!
God bless you for making GurdyWorld and putting these videos up. Such a rarity for someone like me trying to learn this amazing instrument
Omg! Thank you for this! I have to wait for my catnip, but I am still so excited to learn as much as I can.
Cody - you are most welcome. I can't WAIT for you to get your Nip. I know Radoslaw is trying real hard to do stuff while he is injured, but we all have to wait (me too!) but it will be great once the waiting is over!!!

@@codyosborne9307 me too! Once you get it let me know! Can't wait!
What a fascinating instrument!
It is indeed!
Thanks for the metronome pitch !! Too often overlooked but so, so necessary.
ABSOLUTELY.
Thank you for doing this!
You are welcome!!!
Great video that will sure be helpful to people playing gurdy.
Thank you Patte!

You are most welcome! We will actually be releasing the registration and booking information for the August Workshop soon so stay tuned for that!
Noelle, you're amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the hurdy gurdy.
Thank you so much!!!!!
Well, I don't know if I'm amazing, but thanks! Video #4 is coming out in the next couple of weeks - we are having a lot of fun doing them and getting great feedback.
@@noelle-beaudin yep, lady is amazing... Cool
@@savagecapitalist Thanks!
Thank you so much--this is just what I needed! (And thank you for emphasizing healthy posture!)
Yep!
You are amazing! Thank you for your practical, no-nonsense tips.
YES! I’ve been looking for a while for resources to learn. Thank you.
You are welcome!
I love that blue chair!

Thank you a lot! It looks like there are no hurdy gurdy teacher in my country. It looks like I found teacher outside the country)))
You are welcome! The next video (4th one!) will be coming out this week!
I am fascinated by this instrument; I need to save up to get one.
I’d love a go on those hurdy gurdies
Fishman Loudbox. Very fine !
It is an exceptional little amp!
Can we have a video of you using your bow and arrows?
Agreed:) archery is so fun it’s crazy
4:25 came here to learn hurdy gurdy, didnt realize i would learn to use the force too
What is the name of the french instrument that works like a hurdy gurdy, but is a long rectangle?
Do you mean the Symphonia?
@noelle-beaudin I googled it, and yes that is the instrument. I've seen it once before but never knew the name.
Thank you.
@@datsunlambchops4624 my pleasure!
I am interested in purchasing a Hurdy-gurdy
Can you recommend one for beginners?
Absolutely. There are a number of great recommendations on www.gurdyworld.com/ and I would say to read through all that information first on your own to make a good decision. There are some other newer beginner models that have come out since the GurdyWorld Blogs, and one other to look at would be the MM Trigo, but in the G/C tuning and not the bog standard GGG tuning.

What type is that?
In these videos, I am using a Chris Eaton Luteback built circa 1988.
Metro-gnome!😂 what instrument do I play while waiting months for my hurdy gurdy to arrive.
Hi Elizabeth! :-) Piano...it will help with recognition of the notes on the keybox once your HG arrives!
Hmm... I watched part 4 first, then came to this one because most of the way through that I was wondering what notes you have on the keyboard. Where is that covered?

Keep WANTING...God will provide. Shhh. Just wait n see.
You'll get something soon. Jaap has some great Nerdy Gurdies for the right price 🙂
Trying to source a Hurdy Gurdy is so depressing feels like an elitist club who are in the know with the rest of us excluded.
This is why we're trying to put information out there for everyone that is easy to find and understand. As far as instruments go, there's actually two very good immediate options. The Linotte from Nerdy Gurdy and the Trigo from MM Instruments. Both very affordable and you can get them within a 3 months shipped safely directly to you.
They’re all locked up in the same room as the holy grail and the arch of the covenant
I'm picking up a diy Linotte. They have great tone if setup correctly.
@@modelenginerding6996 the Linotte is excellent. I have two students that purchased a Linotte from Fay and Jaap after already owning an Alpo, and now they never play the Aplo. The linotte is tuned properly and is the best instrument you can own for the price! Excellent decision.
Keep searching. You'll find the info you desire!
...only friend...talk about putting all your eggs in one basket! Maybe having more than one metrognome is a good idea. In case you think the first one has it out for you.
I want to learn but do not have 1500$ it’s sad the price barriers for instruments can keep so many people away

Watching this so that I can buy a hurdy gurdy and quickly learn so I can bring a hurdy gurdy to my DND group and confuse everyone
There's just so many hurdy gurdy teachers i have trouble finding the right one
I know. I can't turn around without running into one there's so many....
Play it already.
You invented a hurdy gurdy with no frills
"If you want to be super bougie its 'chanterelles'"
Super bougie or... French 😉😉😉
😂
The hurdy gurdy falls out of favor due to the elitist class --> modern pop music
What demonically inspired personality invented this instrument?
