OTW Hurdy-gurdy concert by Bouffard & Chabenat

[Floor107]

Got to bring them back to the NW!

[bobbie4]

Drones and Chanters, just like my other favourite instrument. I guess that makes the Hurdy Gurdy the bagpipe of the stringed world.

That would be an awesome performance bagpipes AND hurdy gurdies.

[bd5035]

How tricky it must be to keep the two at the same tune....great job! :)

[guidi2005]

I am blown away

[ketanisgods]

Man, these guys are amateurs. Ain't nobody play the hurdy gurdy quite like Justin Bieber!

[girlgenius17]

Wow. These guys are AMAZING. The hurdy gurdy sounds like a violin/cello had a baby with a bagpipe. Way to combine my two favorite instruments EVER! :D

[42whatelse]

Beautiful! Beautiful!

[harnessbells]

Just love this.

Hard to even know what to say.

Very, very, very nice.

[laellagos]

Thank you for reminding me why I love the hurdy so much. These hurdies have such a beautiful, full sound - unlike most of the out of tune screetchers here on YouTube. :P Then again, I'm sure they must've cost a small fortune. Double thumbs up for the players!

[Coletta100]

The sounds are very similar to those of bagpipes, wow ! The song is full of joy ! :-)

[captbobalou]

Fantastic!

[FlukeThing]

Beautiful! Well done :D

[OversizedTwit]

A decent low-end one is generally somewhere in the vicinity of 1.5-2k. A really good lute-back, something like Bouffard's (ponytail guy) would probably be at least three times that, quite possibly more. Chabenat's...I'm not sure.

[TRIF0TRIF]

OK Thanks

[Klumpen0815]

Chabenats in this Video is one from Wolfgang Weichselbaumer (Austria) and costs about 8400€. Although these are the best modern types you can get in the whole world... not only in my opinion.

[Cebardamu]

Cost about 1500 euro

[Whitefire26]

2.4k USD would get you one you could use for years but the top notch ones will go for about 4k and are very rare in the US.

[Klumpen0815]

They do sound especially sweet, when you can afford such high class models like theirs. ;)

[songbirdsearching]

doesn't that music make you want to do a jig dance? Wow! Thank you! I WANT a hurdy gurdy! They are too expensive for me right now. But as soon as I can afford one. Hey! Wonderful music I could play.

[trackend]

I love the Hurdy Gurdy thanks for the tune

wish I could afford one they real sound great when you add that zing with a bit more handle speed.

[jenniferjuniper97]

Mesmerizingly beautiful :)

[OCSIGEN6424]

Una nau sus los genolhs, un navire sur les genoux , a ship on your knees pour aller vraiment plus loin, vive la vielle à roue!

[mettijesnthebernt]

Vive la Vielle a roue!

[doudoudu36400]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tro tro fort!!!!

[Digplayer]

Wonderful!

[dmsanct]

It's quite interesting the fact that you actually spin the thingy with your right hand and play with your left

[Nijnz]

And again! i'm going to a concert of didier francois and gilles chabenat!

and again i can't wait!

I love the way Patrick bouffard plays his gurdy :O

[mettijesnthebernt]

I love Patricks way to!

[dmn0323]

Very interesting instrument and clearly well played. Thanks for sharing!

[canalkebab]

great instrument and great performers. the best musicians I've ever seen.thanks for this beautiful sound. (chabenat forever!)

[chavan03]

Cette vidéo est bien. Si elle vous a plu, essayez d'écouter ces deux vielleux(Patrick Bouffard et Gilles Chabenat)dans leurs propres enregistrements. Ainsi vous serez conquis par la vielle à roue Centre France

[igibs130]

hurdy-gurdys are the best!

[Hellmanvevlirare]

Masters of the hurdy-gurdy

[micrologus1]

The two great masters playing together! WOW! Fantastic!

[cajonbongo2007]

Absolutely first class! Thanks.

[HaileISela]

Somewhere I know the first tune they play from... But it's a different version...

[flvnow]

I've always considered the HG as a medieval synth

[mehitabel23]

That is incredible, both such skilled players...i saw chabenat last year, he is without a doubt one of the best performers i have ever seen! thanks for posting this!!!

[fredrickson1]

WoW...This is Incredible.....Both Players are In Total Tune with Each Other....They look like they have been playing Together for Many Years....

[IvoniceAstrid]

absolutely brilliant ! please post more vids of Patrick and Giles ! they are the best xx

[jarlcomp]

The most incredible hurdy-gurdy playing I've ever seen. I rushed out and bought their CD after listening to this. Why are these guys not more famous?

[hurdygurdy2000]

They really should be!

[futureboycolin]

so bitchin.  i feel like i'm at a medieval wedding.

[TustBart]

Simplement impressionnant... respect

[PeterPiper86]

No words could possibly describe how beautifully this sounds! Truly, these guys are masters! Thanks for sharing this vid :)

[sacredsong]

this is probably the coolest weirdest instrument i have ever seen, and that's saying something!

it's sooooo cool!

[davebiffuk]

The tunes are: Cochinelle - Jean Blanchard, and: Avant de s'en aller - Pierre Imbert

[zhukant]

What is this tune called? I really love it. I've listened to it like eight times already =Þ

[Ekkso]

Hehe, for me the 2 best french players (and so world players)

[mydhe]

This is fabulous!

Thank you for posting!

[Thorens]

It's like guitar-shredding on the hurdy-gurdy. That's crazy! :D

But I love it, can't get enough of that instrument.
