HOW TO: NY ~ HURDY GURDY IS BEAUTIFUL

[TheLPK3]

A Turkish melody

[IrenaPrude]

I would like to hear her perform "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty on her Hurdy Gurdy

[darrylminsky]

Very cool

[ugur24]

A turkish tune, thank you.

[SloterMFmeyer]

No monkey?

[jamie10310]

Thought hurdy-gurdy was a nonsense word till this video!

[Haagaustin]

no bra, thank you

[gynecolog1st]

good music, nipples, this has everything

[karmisson]

10 minutes later, butter comes out

[superstitionadd]

Recognise the tune from a Band called Headmix Collective, so now I'm not sure if they wrote it or if it's a trad folk tune, what is it called?

[muenevver]

@superstitionadd it is a Turkish song called 'Muhabbet Bağına Girdim Bu Gece' from Saadettin Kaynak

[olishant]

@BarwinDarney And me...

[TheNeverlasting]

it must be realy cold over there.

[paintingglass]

Yume Hurdy Gurdy Nipples ;)

[ProPipesCodClan]

wow, i really want to learn this instrument it looks fun as hell

[RpOutOfTime]

The instrument IS great - no discussion upon this! But - hey - why do anglicans/english name it "hurdy~gurdy"? It is simply an instrument that is based upon an turning wheel. What is "hurdy-gurdy"?

[brainwasher9876]

@RpOutOfTime that's like saying "a violin is simply an instrument that is based on pulling a bow. What is 'violin'?" or "a sofa is simply an item of furniture that is designed to let you sit down. What is 'sofa'?"

[AxiTheReal]

Where is Anna Murhphy???

[pedent3000]

eluveitie is better :D

[lsurocks1000]

thumbs up if u r here because of eluveitie! :)

[lollipopzzie]

@lsurocks1000 haha true xd

[Sstrikerful]

I am here because of Coil..

[mosquitobight]

The hurdy gurdy was considered a high-tech musical instrument in the Middle Ages. It was the "synthesizer" of its day.

[fenaxcash]

it is an old Turkish music.

Ararım Sorarım from Semiramis Pekkan

[PaulaXCIII]

I think Ararım/Ah ya Zain, sounds really beautiful on Hurdy-Gurdy. And here is a very talented girl.

[BmoreBusker]

TO: grayghost9929 You must have been bullied as a child. How uforutnate, As you grow you may or may not realize that remarkis like that are hurtful

[rasoros]

this is the last time I read youtube comments.

[gaarddarkwitch]

I'm here because of Loreeena McKennitt

[gaarddarkwitch]

@gaarddarkwitch Though I like Eluvetie too :D

[BloodstainSC]

Im here because of Eluveitie!!!

[audiso100]

@BloodstainSC me too :D

[rockergod789]

i've been around music all my life, and this is one of the better experiences i've had. according to wikipedia, this hurdy gurdy she's playing is a Hungarian Tekero. it looks like a heavy instrument. the french Vielle a roue is my personal favorite, though.

[roberaith]

sounds ginda like a bagpipe......or a gypsy instrument.....

[6Bene]

Faster, faster, faster....

[gothips]

i see the hurdy and the gurdy those are nice

[Bluebelle9289]

It's such a strange-looking instrument but I love the sound.

[Pentdad]

If I were this lady I would make myself up really well before going out busking, its unusual to have very attractive buskers and she has potential. Alas, only potential yet.

[cursedswordsman]

Holy crap. These comments are amazing.

[changobaio]

It's great music, alas, not the reason boys talk to girls...

[franvi77]

guuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrl, get a bra!

[jimofdoom]

Didn't even register her breasts till I read the comments. I feel virtuous.

[AngelOfSephiroth]

@jimofdoom Same here. Now I can't stop looking O_o

[fuddyboi]

i bet she has a massive growler

[eanmrtn]

If she cranks it backwards, it steals your soul.

[iLetDie]

hahaha. read it, believed it, fear it.

[brainwasher9876]

@eanmrtn epic.

[nishilive]

You're Awesome. I like it. I want to play a Hurdy Gurdy too, but i'm live in Uruguay =/

[Silverthunder100]

Shut it about the nipples, seriously..she is playing beutifully on one of the rarest instruments, and all you guys can pay attention to is the fact that she isn't wearing a bra? Seriously..listen to the music!

[Trinitrotoluo]

@Silverthunder100 What can we say, Our animal instincts kicked in... ( . Y . ) FTW

[schulhoff18]

@Silverthunder100 or look at the nippels its whatever really

[Mehlwurm18]

@Silverthunder100

Thank YOU!

[YouCanCallMeCharlz]

when you know how to play that thing who needs to wear bras?

[cakkok]

this a Turkish Art Music song, (hint : muhabbet bağına girdim )

[lsamoa]

awesomeness. i like how she finished the song right on time with the train arrival too!

[kittyprydekissme]

Is that Melissa the Loud?

[meetdiamond]

@kittyprydekissme yes, it is.

[TheGreatMrMojoRisin]

she's wearing no bra...

[AnnatarYoung]

Her lovely pair aside, she's an amazing musician. We need to see more Hurdy Gurdy buskers!

[raedenjay]

I came here trying to see if this is the instrument that is in the zelda spirit temple theme :P

[d22587]

How often do you people get laid? Seriously.

[mellowmark1]

@d22587

Let the kids have their fun. Nipples were a big deal to you at one point as well, I'm sure.

[d22587]

@mellowmark1 Not really, I'm more of an ass man.

[pask54]

I want one.

[LynnElliaDavis]

is this ah ya zayne

[BmoreBusker]

this person is playing her heart out, and all you can observe are her nipples?

[lolzelda]

@BmoreBusker yes



[caughtinacadence]

@BmoreBusker if its any consolation, i appreciate both greatly.

[foroparapente]

@BmoreBusker The nipples are very close to the heart.

[ThePorkchop7]

@BmoreBusker Wow, all you can see are her nipples?... Says a lot man.... says alot, check her out she is legit.

melissatheloud

[BmoreBusker]

@ThePorkchop7 You misread what I wrote, doofus. I was rationing shit making lude comments about her. Read again carefully

[BmoreBusker]

@BmoreBusker I mean, I was disgusted with people making lude comments. Just read a little more careful before pointing fingers, smart one.

[MrOhaiMark]

@BmoreBusker

yes

[TheRetsehc]

@BmoreBusker I've seen this video many time...I never would have noticed if your comment hadn't been up so high. Don't know who you were talking to, but they deserve a smack on the head.

[iLetDie]

Thumbs up if you are here because of House.

[CubaEmbajTV]

@iLetDie They are tough to find, though. Hookers who play this thing.

[6Bene]

@iLetDie

[AmethystNail]

@iLetDie

I'm here because of Eluveitie

PS: I like House too

OW HOLY FUCK, MY EARS! I THINK WE'VE FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING WORSE THAN BAGPIPES!

OH SWEET JESUS MAKE IT STOP!

[bono597]

Very cool instrument none the less,..awesome sound

[bono597]

Maybe he meant that listening to the hurdy gurty was making his nipples hard

[thisizmesayinghi]

Put On a Bra.

[CubeKnot]

I think it's missing the F# key at the one end of the Hurdy Gurdy, or was that G-flat? Anyway still a great video, Thanks.

(PS: G-flat is the same as F# for you non music players out there)

[jonthybond]

i want to learn how to play this instrument that would be really cool

[AdingerXD]

you guys are pathetic, such music, and all you can think of are nipples. Shame on you, miserable creatures.

[niggawithabuspass]

[synthezer]

[Ghostshepard]

Either that's a bad WF or she sucks! Check out Anna Murphy, she rocks the WF like there's no tomorrow!!

[jovanm90]

[pnoplyr14]

@jovanm90 Ha

[sunchildren]

@jovanm90 i think she's good with both of them ;)

[jamsolid]

Yes!

[redski1960]

Great website Melissa and very informative.

Never knew the names of most of your instrument collection.

[nycoshouse]

@redhothellers Yeah !!!

[spongey851]

She's also wearing no bra but that didn't distract me at all even though she's grinding the hell out of that thing. Don't know why I had to watch it 5 times either.

[retawdee]

How heavy is that instrument?

[retawdee]

I'd like to see what's in that compartment to see the mechanics. Must''ve taken awhile to assemble the instrument .

[dionysios1991]

Ελλαδαρα εισαι παντου!

[HPA10mariosdemigod]

@dionysios1991 Εσυ αυτο καταλαβες και εχεις να πεις... 

[StAtIcDeMoN734]

She looks like Michelle Rodriguez

[Gilvin]

[Dltn97]

[zimnygrzes]

I like the sweater meat!

[pcollenYT]

@zimnygrzes the high-beams are on.

[sonic911]

OHHH so thats what that instrument in call of duty is

[TheElphy]

HARD NIPPLES FTW WOOO :P fantastico! great playing

[MikroBadass]

[braccetto2001]

Melissa You enchant me. ADORABLE...!

[missbluekoi]

antique roadshow

[moonasha]

I um .. don't think she's wearing a bra :F

[DavidTaylorRocks]

@moonasha i know its kinda turnin me on

[guidi2005]

I just discovered this instrument a few minutes ago and I want one. Any advice on a good beginners one I can buy?

[blueformula91]

Cool instrument

There’s actually a metal band by the name of Eluveitie that has a Hurdy gurdy player.

[Zoza15]

@blueformula91 And Lead Singer as well..

[bedofrazorsqwerty]

@blueformula91 ELUVEITIE IS AWESOME

[leaveblank]

I love this woman!

[junoonuj]

Absolutley awesome!  thank you.

[audiotrax2000]

Fantastic! It's even better with the iconic setting.

[katiedid1023]

Wow, that is amazing

[Zoza15]

Now that i know the name of this instrument, I only need to know how the mechanic of this instrument works..

Nice Play BTW :)

[oneeyelucky]

Wow! I have never seen anything like this in my life. Its sounds really great. I'm a 41yrs old, and music is one of the things that I live for.

[KarlAmade]

@oneeyelucky

Then I beg you to check out the truth of classical music... Because the Mozart, Bach and so on.... you hear to day... is played wrongly!

[Zoza15]

Masterfull... the way how it sounds..

[redhothellers]

doesnt look tat hard to play... but it probobly is hard

[oneeyelucky]

@redhothellers Nothing ever seems hard when others are doing it. lol

It looks like a hand-cranking organ/violin/accordion or something.

[maledrops]

@maledrops actually they use it all the time now that i've noticed

[radioheadfauxlife]

Are they choromatic, and can the drone note be changed?

[corinne54]

Oooh - You make me want to get a hurdy gurdy of my own!

[Hiroko305]

the hurdy gurdy is a beautiful and graceful instrument that should be more recognized everywhere.

Simply fabulous, I must say.

[Godzilla1985]

I just love this song.

[braccetto2001]

Melissa ... you very great musical TALENT... smackkkkkkkkkkk

[Efreeti]

Been several months since I last saw this video, but the last couple of days I just got this melody stuck on my brain. Wish I knew where the melody is from.

[mroubison]

can someone give me some advice about how i would go about buying one?? would it be cheaper to just buy a building kit?? but it looks damn hard to put together.

are all hurdy gurdies in the same key? can u tune them to other keys like you can a guitar? or do you have to buy a whole new one like you would for a whistle??

please someone help. thank you!

[uyenst]

@mroubison : I'm a beginner in mandolin, even mandolin in Vietnam, my country mandolin is not well-known so people like me can barely imagine there's an instrument like this :D. Sorry I don't know where to buy it (hey, sorry if this is a stupid suggestion but why don't try eBay? :D). But I can see it has somethings look like the tuner on the end of it so I guess it can be tuned :D.

[zihbant]

ahah That is a Turkish song

[KarlAmade]

@zihbant

Or ottoman? :P hehe

I've forgotten it's name, do you know what it is called again? A ya zen or something...

[BmoreBusker]

This is the most awesome thing ever. And here I thought I had all the coolest instruments in the world. I'm sold, and going to be broke! I bet these cost a pretty penny.

[TheJashtica]

That's a badass instrument.

[lowell012013]

that's amazing you play rhythm and lead at the same time with this instrument.

[streetcleaner0]

Check out Garmarna's videos. They use an Hurdy Gurdy also. Great sounding band.

[zbaby82]

It's sort of Indian or Middle eastern sounding.

[admiralPs]

@zbaby82 its from scandinavia. its a metal instrument

[KarlAmade]

@admiralPs

What? Govern your tongue :P
