Recording Hurdy-gurdy / Polish song

This was a sound check - I wouldn't normally walk in on a performer during a recording!

Part of a recording for my Masters Degree in Audio Production.

Thank you. I love the song and music. I'd buy a recording.

@edwardhensley I have some still available :D

[LaudanumVoices]

@edwardhensley - btw thanks!

Does the speed at which you turn the crank change the tone or just the volume?

[LaudanumVoices]

It changes both the timbre and volume but not really pitch significantly (although inevitably there is a slight pitch change of probably less than a semitone - noticeable when the crank is first started up).

The left-hand controls the pitch using the keys which press onto the chanter (tune) strings

Certain Hurdy-gurdys (including this one) have 'Buzzing bridges' which allows the player to produce a buzz when the handle is turned in short, fast bursts.

I seem to have accidently deleted someone's comment... sorry to the person who sent it.

[harrynicholas]

Playing it on the toilet would have been funnier.

@UpcomingJedi it was only a sound check; see the notes. :D

Don't you just hate it when someone barges in to ask a stupid question just to come out on the recording, thereby ruining it???

What is the name (or the first few words) of this song in Polish?

[Max0Inq]

Wandered the Mother of God consoling people's sorrows.

Maybe this Wanderer will visit you too, bringing her consolation.
