    The thing that holds me back from trying out a hurdy gurdy is not the difficulty, not the price (okay maybe) but the fact that you need an enginering degree to tune and adjust it and stuff xD

    • @justaweeb9086
      @justaweeb9086 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      For me it's Definitely the price 🤣

    • @MrWhateverfits
      @MrWhateverfits 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would love to play one but yeah the price and I can't play an instrument due to my brain not working to good.

    • @Szeptun
      @Szeptun หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just play it out of tune and add some pedal effects.

    With your accent every time you say "hurdy gurdy" it's so satisfying lol

    I don't own a hurdy gurdy and i can't play it, but I love your music and your part at Eluveitie. And although I love the way you say "hurdy gurdy" 😊. I saw Eluveitie this year at the area 53 festival in Leoben /Austria. Since this time I am a great fan of you. Good luck for your future 🤘

    Thanks for the information about that elegant instrument.
    I'm a Turk, we have some set of authentic bowed instruments like Yayli Tanbur, Klasik kemence, Rebap, Iklık, kemane vs. Some of them originates from central asia and some of them created in Anatolia, mostly in a simplistic way. But that instrument, hurdy gurdy. Is it so sweet, technical and practical :) And has nice drone tones.

  • @makipri
    @makipri 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks for the explanation. I’d still like to hear how the individual strings sound and how does the cranking speed affect the sound, especially if you move thr crank very slowly. Would it work remotely like the violin does?

  • @draxenath
    @draxenath 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That is an instrument I find very interesting and appealing. I am writing High Fantasy, and have a character, a wandering princess who plays music. Originally I had her play a magical violin, then added a magical electric guitar and had her use one or the other depending on her preference. Now that I know about the hurdy gurdy, I think I am going to replace the princess' violin and electric guitar for a hurdy gurdy, it looks more exotic, more magical, and also very complex in its construction, as something only nobles and royalty would be able to afford in a fantasy world. Where can I learn more in depth about it? Any place where I can chat with musicians willing to aid a fantasy writer? Any features or add-ons that would be more likely seen in a hurdy gurdy designed for a solo musician? Thanks :)

  • @gagatube
    @gagatube 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What about the 'sound box'? (sorry I know nothing about musical instrument terminology) The violin and the acoustic guitar have distinctive body shapes and 'sound holes' that contribute to their overall sound. What governs the shape of the Hurdy Gurdy? And does it even have any sound holes?

    • @michalina_malisz
      @michalina_malisz  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a lot of versatility amongst the shapes of hurdy gurdy, the most popular ones are lutebacks and bodies similar to acoustic guitars with flat backs. Same goes for sound holes, some of them are based on the same shapes as the violin ones, some are round with ornaments inside and there's a lot of shapes in between. :)
