The culmination of 1000 years of development. Wish I could afford such a thing. Great informative video. Thanks.

There's another one called F/Bb which is G/C but a step down so you can play w/ Great Highland Bagpipe players.

Every time I watch this video it makes me want to learn and play the HG even more. I have big plans for saving up to purchase the Full Monty. Look out for my order! (though it's gonna be a few years lol)

The prices George and Anwynn offer are freaking amazing compared to most makers! He's also got a passion for creativity and craftsmanship that shows in every instrument he makes. ,:D

You could also get a full monty with a moncur body. That's what I did. I LOVE IT. It is both sleek and elegant!

I am about to pop for a Moncur. Is it all you expected? Anything you don't like? I have been searching and window shopping for months, and so far, I see nothing to compare with the brand. But I had to ask someone who owns one. :o)

+altarwind I've never played a hurdy gurdy before, but I'm looking to get into the craft. Would the Full Monty be good for a new player or would a simpler model (like your Aquataine) be wiser until I get experience?

@altarwind 8 жыл бұрын

+Joseph Harding Thanks for the note. It's a lot of instrument! If you're a complete beginner, I generally would recommend starting with something a little simpler (the 'Aquitaine's a great instrument). You can always trade it in for value against the Full Monty later on. If you're absolutely committed to taking the instrument as far as you can, the Full Monty is a sweet choice, but be prepared for a bigger learning curve. I hope this helps!

Can it be made to have a lower sound? I prefer the lower sounding instruments I see other popular players cranking. I would probably buy it if it had the more low Cello like sounds primarily rather than the higher pitched sounds. I apologize if my terminology is lacking.

@altarwind 5 жыл бұрын

Hi! There are different tuning configs that can be used, one is a lower octave version for the 'd' chanters which would give you a 'lower' sound.

This is pretty much the same thing that she has. Only real difference that I can tell is that this gurdy is higher pitched.

@ArwenStarsongMusic 5 жыл бұрын

Patty buys her gurdies from Walter simons. Also an amazing craftsman. But if you're looking for someone with good quality craftsmanship and dont wanna take a trip to germany to get yours made (because Simons cant ship to America due to airlines being jerks to musicians) George will definitely have you covered. Not to mention, he is also super helpful! Been playing my baby he made me for a year now and thanks to his book, I am learning a ton!
