      Kinda reminds me of Paul Harrel. By being legend and by kinda looking like him in a way. Calm appearance with some slight psycho vibes in a positive way :D don't ask me how that's possible :D :D

    I believe that Mr. Pringle's unique genius lies in his deep instinctive affinity for the culture and the people whose music he is playing. There are many musicians who can accurately play many styles of music on various instruments, but they cannot become one with the people and the times of the music they are playing.
    Whether Peter sings of Dagda's magic harp while playing the hurdy gurdy, or the song of Gilgamesh on the Sumerian long neck gishgudi, or even The Wanderer on the Saxon lyre: he takes you on a multi dimensional journey transcending time and space. He IS the music. He is the vehicle that takes you home.

      I recognise this my man, but it was more so his ease with the scalar demands of Indian music I was commenting on, which is notably different and has great complexity. Peter, to my easily pleased ear at least, sounded like he’d been attuned to the Indian conventions of melody for years, hehe.

    Man I wait and wait and wait for a update from your channel pringle, been like this for years. Delightful when something comes up. More wonderful instruments. So much of this is lost by the masses even those of us who would like to go about this music have difficulty finding the instruments, resources, learning aspects of it. If you could go into the instruments you have, how they function, how to learn. All of that would make for fascinating videos. Would love some more educational based videos
