the hurdy gurdy, an exceptional folk music instrument
Not sure how many of you are familiar with this instrument but it’s pretty interesting. Thought I would share some of the cool videos I found related to this unique instrument.
I always like including links to TED whenever possible so here is one specifically for the instrument:
Are you a gadget geek? Kickstarter which is a site for people to try to raise money for ideas and products, etc. even has a gurdy kit you can build yourself and also some very cool wooden trains.
Though not technically a gurdy i suppose but cool nonetheless, the marble machine. Kind of like a rube goldberg music machine…
Still not buying it all this ruckus about HG. You may have heard the words hurdy-gurdy in the past and just forgotten. 🙂 Catchy song from the old days.
Want to know more check out Patty’s link and peruse her vids.
