this is lovely! i really like the switches between major & minor modalities (not sure if that's the right term).
@noelle-beaudin7 күн бұрын
Absolutely, that is the correct term. Part of what makes composing for the HG so interesting is the fact that you need think in modes because of the presence of the drones/trompette/mouche (which provide a single underlying tone or tonal center). Otherwise the compositions can get quite boring and repetitive!

@noelle-beaudin7 күн бұрын
There are the melody strings (you play using the keyboard), the drones just play a single note, and then sympathetic strings which ring when you are playing the same pitch. If you go to www.GurdyWorld.com all of the parts and how to use/play them are explained in the FAQ section. :-)

I like that! I like the slow almost chromatic (?) runs! But now you’ve put the cat amongst the pigeons too! Its almost time for Marco to start the build on my gurdy and I ordered an Alto but hearing the tenor has made me wonder if that’s more what I want! Can you comment on Alto vs Tenor at all?
@noelle-beaudin12 күн бұрын
Two of my students have Gamarra Altos and I think that you would do well to stick with that order. I think the Tenor is a great instrument, but I think when you are starting out on HG it's good to start on an Alto to get used to how the instrument works first, and then yes moving to a Tenor (in addition to your Alto) is a great idea. His Altos are fantastic, but I'd also think about making sure you just get 2 melody strings and not 3 as that complicates things by 10000% 🙂

Hmm... I watched part 4 first, then came to this one because most of the way through that I was wondering what notes you have on the keyboard. Where is that covered? Although I watched you play a scale, I couldn't see which keys you were playing. Is it fully chromatic? Are the black parts also keys?
@noelle-beaudin20 күн бұрын
Sure. If you go back and watch the first 3 videos in the series, the keys, note names and placement are all covered specifically. Yes, the HG is chromatic, although there are some diatonic HGs out there, this video series covers the G/C chromatic HG specifically.
@TooSlowTube20 күн бұрын
@@noelle-beaudin Okay. Thanks. I've watched 1 and 4, so far. This is what I find frustrating about video learning vs something written where I can try to skip through to find what I want to know, then go back. I find it hard to sit through something like this hoping it will get to the point I wanted to know about.

@TooSlowTube18 күн бұрын
@@noelle-beaudin Thanks. The last two thirds of part three were more what I was looking for. The black keys are hard to see in a video, so I wasn't clear if there were notes on black keys between the ones you were playing - and initially I thought only the white keys were keys, then switched to thinking only the black ones were. Might I suggest a labelled close up diagram of the keyboard, on your website? As someone who's never actually seen a hurdy gurdy, other than on KZfaq, that's the part that was least clear, to me.

That's correct, but in that "fly" is a small sound, and the "chien" is the little wooden bit that rests on the soundboard and makes that loud "buzzing" sound when you want to engage it.

Yeah well it was only supposed to be a short for folks with previous gurdy knoweldge, not the whole explanation of parts. If you want to understand what a trompette is (not a trumpet which is different, and yeah it blows) you would be best to get familiar with the entire instrument via gurdyworld.com. In the FAQs section you can read about each part and then this would explain it for you better if that is what you are looking for.

I understand. I will (learning sufficient proficiency obviously 😂) be using it both traditionally but also potentially in a similar way to Stephan from the band Faun. Initially I thought it would be fine with everything micced up but then I thought it might be a good idea to separate the drones from the melody strings. Then splitting down even further makes sense because the expense of doing so is not that much more. May I ask please… and thank you for being kind enough to reply to my questions, it is greatly appreciated 🙏 So… does the gurdy you have with the preamp fitted have knobs or sliders, switches etc set into the woodwork or is it simply an internal amp outputting to a multiway socket requiring volume, tone etc to be adjusted externally? I’ve seen some gurdys with little sliders set into the side of the body at the back.
