Ooooh, thank you sooo much!

Same reason I ended up here lol

Agreed

I love everything about this comment. 🥰 Thank you so much!!! 💙

Thank you very much! Glad to have you here on board! :)

Awww! Thanks a lot! I've had a little bit of trouble with this - the melody is really simple and it gets repetitive very fast. I'm very glad you like it anyway!

Thanks a lot! Turning this simple melody into "my very own" arrangement was quite a challenge! :D

Back 7 months later, still beautiful

Hello there! I took a small break from making videos but I'm starting again slowly. :) I've got some projects in the pipeline and never played Halo myself, but I'll take a look! Thanks a lot for your nice comment!

@@TheNamelessBard It was well deserved, I still listen to it quite a bit! With the Halo games being the most accessible they’ve ever been and with Infinite coming December 8th, now is a great time to make a video for it. Aside from the original songs, there’s plenty of remixes and covers to listen to in order to get an idea for what you’d like to do. If you decide to make a Halo theme video, I’ll be liking that and subscribing as fast as possible :)

Thank you very much, Ian! Always nice to see you here! :)

Awww! That's great! Helmut is such a nice guy! ^^ Which model did you choose?

@@TheNamelessBard 35cm pilgerleier, wird dunkelblau für ein nautisches theme, freu mich schon drauf :)

Oho! In Farbe sehe ich bei Helmut sehr selten mal Instrumente. Dann werde ich seine Website mal wieder genauer im Auge behalten! ;) Schon eine Info von ihm, wann das gute Stück ungefähr fertig sein wird?

@@TheNamelessBard leider noch nicht, er muss noch zwei andere fertigmachen bevor er mit meiner anfängt, er hat aber ein bisschen länger als ein halbes jahr geschätzt, ich bin aber geduldig und hab mir von einem musiklehrer in meiner nähe eine kastenleier geborgt

Oh, I'm still surprised how much views this video get compared to my other tracks. :D Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much! Even though there's a lot of virtual instrument stuff going on in here so at least I'm talented in pressing some keys ;D

Thank you so much! Always having a lot of fun with projects like this! :)

Thanks a lot! I'm working on it with every new upload! :D

Fully agree

Will do! :) I took a break from doing videos but I've got some nice orchestral hurdy gurdy stuff in the pipeline. Stay tuned!

Vielen lieben Dank! 🥰 Schön, dich hier zu sehen! 💙

Let's try to reach this level every time, shall we? :D

Vielen Dank! :) Das tiefe C schnarrt noch ein wenig, aber das kriege ich bestimmt noch in den Griff ^^

@@TheNamelessBard Das ist eine Drehleier. Da schnarrt, klirrt, brummt, klappert oder quietscht immer irgendwas. Und wenn nicht, ist das Ding kaputt :-)

Haha! Da steckt leider viel zu viel Wahrheit drin, um zu widersprechen! :'D

Unfortunately not. I don't know much about platforms like Apple Music or Spotify. Maybe, if I reach 1.000 subscribers I will put all the stuff on my old Soundcloud account! Thanks a lot! :)

Oh, how I wish it was like this... :D

Where are you from, Brandon? Maybe there's a luthier around who can build one for you. :) You should take a look at this list: www.reddit.com/r/HurdyGurdy/comments/ld7cy5/hurdy_gurdy_luthier_list/ And please for the love of music: Do NOT buy these instruments on the internet!

@@TheNamelessBard I live in Greenville Michigan, I've been looking at this company from Ohio on Etsy for a month now contemplating if I should trust it lol. Thanks for the link!

@@brandontatroe241 Dont' buy on etsy. Waaaay too high prices for too less hurdy gurdy. Here is an in-depth-review of an etsy hurdy-gurdy. Strongly recommended: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNZ6qtyDz9zchZs.html

Fully understandable. Buying a hurdy gurdy is not an easy decision, given the fact that there aren't really cheap options available like for guitars or even violins. Some attempts were made to build hurdy gurdies for like ~300 - ~500 € but most of these are quite poorly made and you will face a lot of issues without knowing if it's the instrument's fault or the player. I had to save up for my hurdy gurdy for a few years (and I even would consider my gurdy for ~2500 € as an beginner instrument!) but some luthiers - like Helmut Seibert, who built mine - offered me to pay my hurdy gurdy in instalments. This could be an option to ask a luthier about if you really want to buy a hurdy gurdy. Good luck! :)

@brandon tatroe I can recommend checking out the Nerdy Gurdy (www.nerdygurdy.nl/). It's very well designed and is pretty good for a starter instrument. You do have to put it together yourself but even I managed without any prior experience with woodworking. There's also a Facebook group (Nerdy Gurdy Builders) that you can join. The original designer (Jaap Brand) is from the Netherlands and ships the kits worldwide but in that group there's also a USA based kit supplier.

Hi! That's a Tin Whistle in the key of Bb. :)

Hi! That's a Generation whistle in Bb. Bought it for ~10€ at my local music store. It's always a game of luck with those Generations. My C whistle for example is absolutely out of tune. The rest of the magic happens here in my home studio; much, much reverb and some EQing can get this whistle to sound really awesome. :)
