"If I'd been a musician in the sixteenth century, I probably would have picked the Hurdy Gurdy because I imagine it would have made me very popular. Wherever I would have gone, I would have started a party."
OAE musician Adrian Woodward introduces us to the original all-in-one portable dance band, the hurdy gurdy.

Reminds me of my childhood in the 1450s when there were always buskers at Tyburn gallows entertaining the crowds before a nice execution. We'd buy a bag of roast chestnuts and put them in our pockets to keep our hands warm while we waited for the hangman. You'd never recognise the place today and the hurdy-gurdy man has long since gone.
Karl Delavigne How old are you now?
@@Abbysfavouritecolor Middle aged, of course.
Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment
Chestnuts? You were lucky! We used to eat hot gravel who always felt through holes in our pockets, while our own sister was been hanged!
I remember when the dinos were here im 10
I don't know why, but there's something I like about this person.
He is at once cheeky and kind - I like his sense of comedic timing while still keeping a gentle tone.
Omg he's in trouble now 😮
that thing absolutely does both hurd and gurd. great name.
Oh I do love a hurdy gurdy, thanks for the explanation.
What an interesting musical instrument. It resembles the French "musette de cour" in sound. There is a drone note souding along.
I'm terrible and bowing and don't have good intonation so this is a great way to cheat at violin.
saw my first hurdy gurdy being played by a busker near Covent Garden in 1982, my first trip to Europe. They vary quite a bit in appearance. i love the sound.
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility
'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
donovan
Neighbors LOVE it.
I always imagine that the trompette came from someone who's gurdy bridge broke, and it started buzzing. People liked it once they realized it could be controlled, and then it turned into part of the technique. It seems like a serendipitous thing.
I heard hurdy-gurdy in the lyrics of a song and I came here to educate myself.
Thank you for your magnificent teachings and for being so passionate about the arts 💕👏👏👏
Same but the 600 year old middle aged boy stole the thunder 🤣
@@Bear2U LOL 🤣🤣 you're not wrong 😆
Beautiful. Thank you, I've been waiting for you to upload a video about the Hurdy Gurdy
Thanks for bringing more light to this amazing instrument.
Was it too dark the 1st time they made video?
Amazing! Thank you.
Thank you for this! I played for Louis the 14th! This really brought back memories.
You're lucky! Back in my day in 1523 my family was so poor we couldn't afford to do all that stuff😭😭
@@Republic_Of_Vicoria_Officialtf wrong with the people in this comment section 🤣
@@Bear2U Just feeling their Middle Age, I guess. 😆
delightful
Loved this. Now I want one. Thanks for this video.
I want one too! And a bass recorder to play the Mandalorian theme
Can't have one
in France, however, we don't say exactly "violon avec une roue", but "vielle à roue"
it's quite similar, but not exactly the same. The nuance is difficult to express in english
Does "Wheeled violin" give a more accurate vibe?
the Violino-wheel!
@@Glun258 yes. In fact, the vielle is the ancestor of the violin.
@@Glun258no
Fantastic sound. Do a longer version. Want more
You'll have no more and like it 🤩
A great overview, and example for anyone starting there journey with the Hurdy Gurdy.
Spell check not working im assuming
new dream instrument: unlocked
The trompette is the string that passes over the "dog" (chien), causing it to vibrate. And your grip on that handle is wrong. Get that elbow in towards you for a start, and relax the arm. For the grip itself: ruclips.net/video/OOBfNPEi9l0/видео.html
It took us a while, but we got there. The silliest instrument name I've ever heard. Also huge shoutout to "Deer's Antlers", the most aptly-named instrument ever conceived.
In french it's called a wheel violin.
@@atomicskull6405tu veux dire un "violon à roue"
@@atomicskull6405🤔
Eluveitie and Korpiklaani use the hurdy gurdy a lot.
Thumbs up for Eluveitie
Don't forger Cellar Darling!
If you like the hurdy gurdy so much, you should check out a guy called Guilhem Desq, who has his own solo repertoire, as well as a band he's in called Arcane Alchemists.
Thank you for this! I've never understood how it makes its sound.
If all the people watching were asleep would it still make a sound? 🤔
This project is amazing. Hope there will more interesting about rare instruments from all over the world
It actually did have resurgence in recent years. They in fact made modern versions with integrated synthesizer.
@@TheRezrowere you alive in 1400s when it was invented as well?
@@Bear2U Neither confirm or deny.
Lovely. 💕💕 Thank You!
🙂 so kind does your words fall upon my ears. Ty 😊
I want one of those
I can't stop hearing Bosun Bill.
it's one man band of tavern music.
Also possibly the answer to the question "what if an accordion and a bagpipe had a baby".
You get that question often? Apparently men can have babies now so I guess anythings possible 😊
The 0:50 clip nailed it
amazing!!!
SUPER
Thanks! Saw this instrument in Sea of Thieves, had no clue what it was so I looked into it 😂
Good
That, and the intro theme to the Black Sails TV series.
I will buy one of these and learn how to play it.
Well it's been 3 years, how good have you gotten?
this remindd me of a instrurment from 1949 in the beatles
I’m really curious as to how it would sound with a higher gear ratio. Like a 1:3.
Set cool instrument
Should have played one of those.
I remember its like the music i the movie titanic cool
Now I want one.
That's 2 if we add up all the times you say this
It seems like such an engineered instrument, it's quite surprising that it would be considered an instrument for the peasantry!
Can't believe they let Swedish Chef from the Muppets name an instrument
🤣 At least he didn't try to cook it.
Is it easy to learn?
Going a bit too hard on the downward stroke giving resonating feedback in the strings. Given that it's intentionally gives a nice percussion
Ah yes, the spoon guy is the thumbnail for the playlist in the endcard, nice
Where and how much to get a decent one?
Leopold mozart, mozarts father 1719 1787 used the Hurdy Gurdy extensively in his composition peasants wedding march!
Well, no, in French, it's called 'vielle à roue'. :)
Its like a european taishogoto
I wonder how often it needs to be retuned. Does anyone know? Maybe it depends on the string quality etc.
Continuously.
Does anyone know the history of the "dog" on the trompette string? How long has it been in use?
As far as I know, the earliest depiction of a trompette on a hurdy-gurdy is in the "Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch, around the 15th century.
I've always wanted to mess around with one.
What are the prices like?
Entry level about $1500-$2000 I'd reccomend getting one from the Facebook market to start. Do not buy anything from Etsy or eBay.
@@makesquash
Bummer. Out of my price range.
There go my plans to either hurdy or gurdy anytime soon!
@@thedirepuppy6571 You'll just have to whittle your own, then. ;D How long will the quarantine last?
The Ugears hurdy gurdy kit has laser cut pieces that interlock together to make a functional, although somewhat thin sounding, instrument that can be played.
How well it can be played is open to debate, but it makes somewhat appropriate noises for under $100.
You generally have to have one ordered from a maker, and for most luthiers theres a waiting list of 12 months but theres a Ukrainian maker with a shorter waiting list and a price tag of i think only around €500-600
Sounds kind of like the bagpipes eh
Now you need a nyckelharpa.
patty gurdy is the GOAT
Later on, tastes changed.
2 meters long?! dont tell my girlfriend
Have a friend that is looking for someone to record a small piece on a hurdy gurdy for charity.....
It really sounds like a bag pipe
Sounds like a lower pitched bagpipe
Hmm.. an episode of House brought me here. Definitely thought it'd be either a drug thing or a sex thing.
Does anyone other than developers ever comment on these you tube vids? The names themselves are a dead giveaway 🤣
F E D O R A
Anyone here from God of War?
Raeb’s Lament 😔

no
Играй шарманщик,играй нарадость всем играй на грусть .😂🇷🇺☝
I don't really appreciate the sound of it.
Having grown with Gregorian, these modern instruments never managed to impress me.
I agree, Hurdy Gurdy music is so commercial and soulless.
I bet he's bald.
you explain too quickly
CANT listen for long crazy sound worse than bagpipes.
