- Hello Crankers and future crankers, I get many many requests for lessons, so I decided to start a FULL online methode from beginner to intermediate level
I plan to post about 20% of the course for free here in YT, I hope you like it
If you want to contribute to make my life easier and keep the channel alive:
I do private hurdy gurdy lessons and consultation -- zanfoneando@gmail.com
And of course this channel is sponsored by my hurdy gurdy straps, go get one at --- www.hurdygurdystraps.com
my blog about gurdies is www.zanfoneando.com
Keep on Cranking!
Like most videos about strings, it seems to be 90% opinions and 10% facts 🙂 So many variations between instruments, tunings and personal preferences.
just finished my Nerdy and had your placeholdeer setup with just a guitar set to start crancking, this is what I ned. Thanks man
Beginner gurdist over here! Just recently discovered your channel and I'm already loving it! Great mix of entertainment and very helpful advice! And I'm soooo grateful for your string suggestions, because my hurdy gurdy came with Kürschner strings and though they sound great, it's not easy to get new ones and they can be quite expensive...
Two questions came to my mind:
1.) I've got a 35-scale hurdy gurdy made by Helmut Seibert. It has the two g-melodystrings (in octave tuning, so g3 and g4 I guess) and an additional c-string (c4). Is it possible to switch the c4 string to a c3 if I'm using a thicker string for that? I really like the deep, mellow sound but I'm not sure if the scale of my gurdy is too short.
2.) Could you do a video about how to set up the tangents for correct intonation? I'm pretty sure, there are a billion different hurdy gurdy models out there but maybe you can give some advice how at least the octave strings can stay both in tune as I go up the keyboard :)
Once again, thank you very, very much! With no teacher around me at the moment, channels like yours are a gold for beginners like me!
Hey Bard
1) definitely yes, I'd try a Viola C tuned to D3 or even C3
2) yes its on my plans
Hola! I'm wondering if you have found the best string brands or types and tuning specifically for the Nerdy Gurdy. I have really enjoyed your videos and I cannot wait to get started! I will begin building my Nerdy as soon as I have all the pieces but planned to ask for the strings for my birthday lol.
You said you use a Savarez Alliance 0.84 mm gauge for the C trompette, but what string is the 1.2 MM G trompette?
I use plain gut from Kurschner or equivalent gauge from Aquila Strings
Would violin strings work for the higher octive
Hi Sergio! What do you think about Pirastro Tonica / Evah Pirazzi viola strings for the chanterelles? A friend of mine recomended those but I wanted to know your opinion if you've tried them on the gurdy. Also, do you recommend the Thomastik Vision Solo, or just Vision?
Hello Clara, right now I'm using evah pirazzi gold on my G chanter, its quite bright but I like it
Tried both vision and vision solo and they work good, I preffer the solo
is the C string of the cello ideal for making C2 on the hurdy gurdy? Would you recommend any brands?
Yes, Dominant 1/8 works great
Very new beginner gurdist here (just finished building my first Nerdy)! I know in this video you recommend chanters tuned to G3 and G4, as does the Nerdy documentation but I've seen some people tune them in unison G3. What advantages or disadvantages are there to this, if any?
it's just two different aproaches, I like octave tuning because I have 3 different sounds ! only low, only high or both at the same time
@@Sergio.GonzalezPrats I've been told unison strings give you more volume on the melody, maybe more useful for street
Hi, what are the advantages of three melody strings instead of two?
¡Hola! Cuando hablas de la cantora a octava aguda respecto a la cantora en sol, me parece que nombras a una cuerda de viola en E ¿qué significa eso? no veo ninguna cuerda de viola en E que no sea subiendo la de D ¿es correcto? ¡gracias!
Hola Francisco, para la cantora en sol agudo, usamos un La de viola y para el Re agudo un re de viola
What happened to the audio at the end?
I'll have a look and fix it np
hahahah well I will not fix it its very misterious, TRY TO NOT! _______
@@Sergio.GonzalezPrats yes, let have a place some intrigue :)
Hahaha my guess is TRY TO NOT break the strings tuning them to a higher octave
Good guess!
Tune the sympathetic strings to what now? XD
Good question! There are many ways of tuning the sympathetics, I tend to tune to the notes of the mode or to root, third, fifth, octave
This depends on how many strings you have, you can also try with a chromatic scale, it works nice!
