@@xXTharrgorXx I was just about to ask. Sure, "Drehleier" isn't the most impressive name for an instrument, but it doesn't really feel that negative to me.
The instrument is older than that. A two-man version of it was used in Mesopotamia. Also a simpler version of this aren't that complicated. After all it's just a fiddle with added buttons and a wheel for a bow.
I see a parade of performers entering a medieval village with a dancing bear and a jesters juggling and cart-wheeling along side magicians and beautiful dancing girls.
I run into battle my chieftain fiance at my side, our Marriage festival was Intruded upon by enemies, this will not Stand, we will Wed in a Gorey dance hall with Blood spattered Armor.
I must say, I love this sound, please tell me where you get this type of instrument and how do I play like you? This would be a neat downtime hobby for me to pick up
GreninjaPrime you just search "hurdy-gurdy buy (Default-city)", then learn the keys as notes, then you just learn music and translate notes on the instrument of choice
If you do pick one up and do want to go into hard as a hobby then be prepared to invest a lot of money. A -good- hurdy gurdy costs a heck of a lot to make. If you see one below $1200-ish look in askance at it. It might make a noise, but it won't be anywhere near the level you'd want.
Warning, wall of text incoming :P Depending on where you live, you either have a solid choice between multiple builders (Europe), or only one (US). The one in the US is called Altarwind, and has a questionable reputation in the gurdy community, because they charge European prices but don't deliver European quality, and have declined help from experts on how to improve their gurdies. Depending on what you want, gurdies can be as "cheap" as 1650 (not including shipping) or over 10.000 euros. Some builders are cheaper than others, because they charge themselves a lower living wage (mostly eastern-European builders, where labour is cheaper than western Europe). Whatever you do, avoid buying anything from Fairy Gurdy, Galloping Gurdy or Workshop Medieval. Or anything else Etsy/Ebay based. Those are barely good enough for pretty decoration, or sometimes only usable as very expensive firewood. Those instruments have serious technical flaws, mostly don't even have a trompette string (which is the unique aspect of a hurdy gurdy...) and will make you question whether it is you that's incapable of playing or the instrument. If you're really broke, but crafty, and don't mind having a less quality sound, you can get a kit from Nerdy Gurdy, the only acceptable kit for hurdy gurdies there is. They also sell gurdies they've build themselves from the kit, and they cost a bit more, but then you have an affordable, okay sounding instrument. There are good quality, professional luthier made instruments which will definitely keep up their value if you ever want to resell them, and they are all European based. For traditional French instruments, go for a Siorat or Kerboeuf. A good German builder is Walter Simmons, but all those waiting lists are ridiculously long (>2 years) and they cost a lot. Cheaper options that are of quality and keep their value are Gordiy Starukh, Robert Mandel, Helmut Gotschy or Ancestore. If you really want to buy a US made instrument, keep your eyes out for a second-hand Olympic Musical Instrument (good quality, but the workshop stopped producing). If you have any questions, you can always ask me, or become a member of our Hurdy Gurdy community Facebook group. We also have a Hurdy Gurdy marketplace Facebook group. Learning how to play the gurdy might seem daunting at first, but as long as you remember that everything will get better with practice, then you're good to go. Don't forget to check your rosin and cotton every now and then, and you experiment and have fun :)
1700-3400 USD for a good beginner one according to ruclips.net/video/cs1mKhJM93s/видео.html . Amazing instruments and I want one one day but sadly not cheap because of the limited supply of hurdy gurdy makers!
Warning, wall of text incoming :P His gurdy is made by a professional luthier in austria, called Wolfgang Weichselbaumer.

teacher: What instrument do you want to play
you: The hurdy-gurdy
teacher: what?
you: the best instrument out there.
i said that to my teacher and he actually taught me the hurdy gurdy
How they managed to build an instrument this complex in Europe 1,000 years ago still boggles the mind!
And the weirdest thing is that this instrument was not well seen,since so many beggars used it.Even it's name in german has a bad conotation.
@@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person Im german and dont get it, why does the german name has a bad conotation ?
@@xXTharrgorXx I was just about to ask. Sure, "Drehleier" isn't the most impressive name for an instrument, but it doesn't really feel that negative to me.
Mainly because the early instruments weren't as complex as this one. They evolved over time to the complexity we have now

Why have i never heard of this instrument?
Its like a whole band of Violins
With a cello and a viola as well.
Human centipede + a very shmol cello=
God I freaking love the hurdy gurdy ♡
We under estimate those that went before us constantly!
I am in the presence of Genius
jeez i dont think the hurdy gurdy ever stops impressing me
What a beauty... Thank you for this wonderful moment.
I prefer you medieval tunes, but it's a good rock here :] Thanks for sharing this track :]
Your work is amazing
This is so great!
That's pretty fantastic. Glad to have seen and heard it! Thank for sharing your videos, Andrey!
Keep doing this, the music is absolutely fantastic! Greetings from France!
Simply wonderful!!!
Бесподобно! Просто нет слов, одни непередаваемые эмоции...
Amazing... I closed my eyes through the whole thing and saw knights dueling in my mind!
This is so amazingly beautiful
Просто круть!
Cool instrument........
MAGNIFIQUE SPLENDIDE MUSIQUE MERCI BEAUCOUP
Great music!
wow respect for your skill awesome work !
Metal
Очаровательная песня, мне очень нравится!
Krige Y the year before I was able to see what the big guy did
I'm stunned! Brilliant.!!
Outstanding Performance!
The reason this one sounds so good, other than the master playing, is that it has a built in amplifier. Think of an electric guitar and a regular one.
Wow
Love your music and the screen behind you～
Loving your work!!
vení a dar un concierto a la argentina!!!!

Isn't this song in the Witcher 3? It's either this one or a similar sounding one... It's also been awhile so I could also be mistaken.
I dunno
Maybe
@@WretchedRedoran Yeah, that helps so much.
@@kalypso4133 I dunno shit, try looking at the witcher 3 soundtrack
@@WretchedRedoran Why even comment then if you had nothing to add?
Are the drum sounds a feature of the instrument, or does he have someone in the background drumming?
Drum and organ drone not coming from the instrument, noted right at the end of the video title.
