Hey everyone! This is the first in a series of videos we will be providing for beginner players. I've had a lot of students asking me to go over these basics, so me and Max figured it would be a good idea to produce a set of videos with step-by-steps that can help everyone. If you like this video and want to know more, subscribe and then you'll get notifications on the next one. We will be going through everything from the basics beginner level hurdy-gurdy startup stuff all the way to music theory, sight reading, and more!
If you have any thing in particular that YOU want to see or have explained - leave us a comment on that. Wooo!

Omg! Thank you for this! I have to wait for my catnip, but I am still so excited to learn as much as I can.

Cody - you are most welcome. I can't WAIT for you to get your Nip. I know Radoslaw is trying real hard to do stuff while he is injured, but we all have to wait (me too!) but it will be great once the waiting is over!!!

The timing of this video is perfect for me too. I have just been gifted a Gurdy that needs some work and I'm looking forward to learning to play it. I've subscribed to catch the following videos.

Metro-gnome!😂 what instrument do I play while waiting months for my hurdy gurdy to arrive.

@noelle-beaudin Ай бұрын

Hi Elizabeth! :-) Piano...it will help with recognition of the notes on the keybox once your HG arrives!

@FjolnirSyverson 3 ай бұрын

I want to learn but do not have 1500$ it’s sad the price barriers for instruments can keep so many people away

@noelle-beaudin 3 ай бұрын

You actually do not need that much $ to start. There are some excellent and very affordable options that are listed here: gurdyworld.com/gurdyblogs/cheap-hurdy-gurdies/ :-) Good luck, at least you don't want to learn bassoon - entry prices for that instrument are ~$4300 ;-)
