thank you for this wonderful video, usually I play only traditional dances or modern tunes ... your style of playing the baroque repertoire will be a point of reference for me! All the best

Grazie anche a lei. Ho visto i suoi video. Molto piacevole. DF

Very beautiful! it would be lovely to hear some more hg music from you, why not Corette or Boismortier? How come that the sound of the melodystrings is so different when hearing the two hg.s separately?

[DanteFerrara]

Thanks MT! I shall be playing some Boismortier and Chédeville this Friday at the Hurdy Gurdy Festival. How about coming to it. Otherwise, I shall be playing Boismortier, Corrette and Chédeville in Lincoln on July 10th. The two HGs sound different through mike positioning. Best wishes, DF

Wow, you really are a good player! I like these songs. Can-you play standing with the kind of strap you are using or is it only to prevent the instrument from falling?

[DanteFerrara]

Thank you for your comments. A strap around the waist is necessary to play seated. An additional strap around the shoulder is required to play standing or walking.

I see now. The strap is around the waist like a belt.

[MichaelHTillman]

Fantastic stuff. :)  Look forward to seeing more.

the more I hear a hurdy gurdy the more I want to see it in a game!

Thanks a lot for this beautiful video

You make me discover all the interest of Elisabethan music for HG

I will follow with a great interest your other publications

wow....

I am buying my hurdy gurdy this week and won't get it delivered for many months.

I love the (Baroque?) style of your playing...is there any advice or music tab that you recommend I should get to help my playing, as a beginner?

[lars3939]

Well it is two sounds fused as one, anyway. Lovely playing and one of the few instruments that gets me in the heart and gut. Peace

Thank you for the information. I really wish that I could have come to listen to you this Friday. But there´s the whole Northsea between from where I live to England. It´s fascinating how the microphones position can affect the sound so much that it sounds like two different instruments. At last I must say, what an amazing hg that you´ve got, and you play it so well. I´m searching with light and candle after a similar gurdy.

All the best !
