      Chubzdoomer There wasn't anything called "rock" back then, they had different personalities and different tastes of music, that's part of the reason of why i love the medieval era.

    • @HarriBlaidd
      @HarriBlaidd Před 7 lety +4

      I'm not sure about the veracity of this but, i heard a medieval recreationist say that "hurdy gurdy" is supposed to mean "rock your bottom", therefore Chubzdoomer's comment wouldn't actually be far from the truth

      As to the Pirate Theme, look up the opening to the Black Sails television series, they have a great opening and use the hurdy gurdy there as well. As for the "bee" sound, that's called a drone.

      NO, none of that bow bullshit. This has got a fucked up wheel spinning in it and you spin it with a crank on the bottom.

      "Hold my beer, I have a genius idea. You know how I tried to play the violin? Well, what if I take that broken wheel from the wagon outside, and rub it across some strings. Maybe I'll hit the string with some wooden blocks. Yeah, that's go good. I'll put it in the church so we don't have to hear my shrew of a wife."
      "Tobias, you're drunk. You can't just put a wheel on some strings. I'll sound terrible, and the church services are far too long already."

I never realized it had a fretboard like a guitar. I was able to acquire Donovan l e i t c h e s autograph the author of the 1968 hit the Hurdy Gurdy Man. Howdy from Dallas Texas

    The Hurdy Gurdy is over a thousand years old. It is called zanfona in Gallician Portuguese. It figured prominently in the middle ages & was a main instrument of the Troubadours. It can be found all over Europe in folk traditions from Poland & Hungary to France & Spain. Check out videos on CZcams by German Diaz, Gregory Jolivet & Efren Lopez.

    Sounds wonderfully mystical. The hurdy-gurdy is the cornerstone for much of Loreena Mckennitt's sound including The Mummers Dance.

    Isn't anyone who plays the hurdy gurdy now considered a 'master'? Really, who are they competing with?

    • @DdDdDdDdDded
      @DdDdDdDdDded Před 8 lety +71

      No, cause it's hard as fuck to play

      There's actually quite a lot. Loibner is only one among many such as Neil Brook, Tobie Miller, Michalina Malisz, Vinogradov, etc, etc. There's a lot of music out there to enjoy.

      Competition is ultimately what drives people to be better. To say that it's just for kids is to ignore the things that drive you to be better. There's no forest spirit that just "comes from within" only. Competition makes you innovate, and you learn from other people who innovate, and the cycle continues.

      I could argue that what competition contributes to innovation, could be accessed without competition.
      Being a master is irrelevant to competition. It is about the inherent ability of the art.
