Hello! In this video I tried to give a nice explanation of where the buzzing sound comes from and how it is used.
Eternal gratitude to:
Jimi, for doing the sound. (I am not allowed to do it anymore after last vid's fiasco) Find his channel here: / @elektrovolt
Muchos Gratitude to Scott Marshall for providing the fabulous demo comparing different instruments. Check out his music and more delicious playing here: / @scottmarshallhurdygur...
And thank you to Sebastian Falk for providing the photo of the floating trompette.
I hope you enjoy and cheers!

I had no idea there was a whole mechanism! I just assumed it was a natural crank speed thing like over blowing a flute haha. Very cool!

I’ve had a hurdy-Gurdy that was mad without a chien or dog. Your video explains the mechanics and the individual nature of how to fit one well! Thanks from the distant shores and high mountains of North Carolina, USA. Fox Watson Black Mountain, NC

On Eastern European gurdies, you may find a little wedge sticking out from below the tailpiece in the direction of the trompette - it serves the same purpose as the tuning peg in the tailpiece on Western instruments.

Hey. I saw your reaction to your BDG video and think you would also get a kick out of reacting to the Fredrick Knudsen video on the Hurdy Gurdy which explains the history of the instrument.

I was just watching another video and wondering how the tone was changing like that independently of the key presses! Fascinating.

Why she dont attach small electric motor on battery or drill Black & Decker to her hurdy gurdy? She could play with both hands and make music fast forward and rewind ☝️

Because you loose all the dynamics you get when using the crank. Just like the strumming hand on a guitar.

@@elektrovolt true but one could have a pedal controlled motor. Wouldn’t be the same thing but could be cool for accessibility

@@thanpersand It won't sound as good, you loose all the nuances, the rhythmical part of the trompette and all the other nuances. There are a few gurdies that have a motor but you can do far less on those than you can do with a simple crank.

@@thanpersand that will never be able to control the nuances you need for playing the interesting bits. If you ever played a hurdy gurdy you will know what I mean. It is not an instrument designed for disabled people just like you do not use an 'automatic strummer' on a guitar.
