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!

[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

[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.

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.

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!

[42whatelse]

Beautiful! Beautiful!

[harnessbells]

Just love this.

Hard to even know what to say.

Very, very, very nice.

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!
