Matthew Szostak on Hurdy Gurdy and Bob Lucas on Guitar

Back




Sweet Chariot 2003 - Matt told me it was one of the highlight of his life playing like that with Bob...Unfortunately I ran out of tape and the song was over before I could find a new one...Still a little souvenir.

It sounds like the last 10 seconds or so is the start of 'les chevaux de bois', a valse by hurdy-gurdy maker Bernard Kerboeuf

When my friend told me there was an instrument called Hurdy Gurdy I thought he was joking O_O

nah, it's still alive and well with those of us of polish, russian, and ukrainian ancestry. i play one live with my band, and we're not even folk, haha

How does it work? I'm intrigued! How does it work/produce chords? Is it stringed on the inside?

the crank turns a wheel that runs perpendicular to the 3 strings in the body. 2 strings are drones, and the middle string's tone is changed by keys that change the pitch of the string.

the wheel is just like a bow on a violin. just think of that intrument as a mechanical verson of a violin

Ha mesmerized, its great you used that term because it is directly related to another instrument the Glass Armonica that was loved by an early psychology doctor named Mesmer or something like that... anywho look it up, its neat.
