Vrabel Gurdies - new model update
It's been a long time since my last review of the Vrabel Hurdy Gurdy. Though I regret nothing, I now had the chance to try out one of his newest instruments. While some things stay the same, others have improved and it felt like it was a good chance to review the instrument again after loading 7 years of experience on my back.

    Just as a little side note, this three-stringed style is known as a "Crwth Trithant." There's even some old pictures showing folks playing them. Funnily, most of the Trithant depictions I've found show them being played between the knees, or resting on the thigh, like you do here. The against the chest position seems to be more common with the 6 string version. I play mine with an "underhand" bow grip, palm facing more upward, with index and middle fingers adjusting the tension on the bow hair.

    Hi there! I wanted to stop in and thank you for this review! It's what got me to check out Ars Anglia and buy a Crwth for myself! I took your advice and got the violin strings too! Matter of fact, I linked the maker this very video! I have done a bit of modification to it since the initial purchase (more traditonal bridge and cow horn tailpiece), and in talking to the maker, he's updated his design, but this was the spark that set me on my journey, so I just wanted to say thank you so much again for this video review!

    Jimi Hellinga made a very interesting review about Vrabel Hurdy Gurdy ... You can get your own idea, but the wole idea is that it is not an instrument to buy ... even if you are a beginner.

    How do some of you get such a deep tone on your gurdy. I want to get one, but all the demos I hear are a high pitched, ear splitting bagpipe sound and I want something deeper and more like a bass.

    • @CaptainGurdy
      @CaptainGurdy 2 месяца назад

      Good question. First of all, I'm not using the "standard" G tuning, instead my strings in these video were in C4 ( or C3 / C4?). This would be an Alto tuning. Secondly, I'm passing the sound through a piezo and then to my Roland Cube with Octavizer effect (it replicates your sound one octave lower) for extra bass. The cone of the amp is very small, but still I can get much more bass than normal!

    I like how you changed the piece to get around the limitations your instrument (concertina) provided you with. I think the changes you made are very nice; you should be proud of this video. I personally know what it’s like to have limitations (lack of notes) on an instrument (I play traditional accordions -one 120 bass and one 12 bass accordion)- and I have trouble playing some pieces that use notes that are not on my accordion. All-in-all I think you did a superb job at modifying this piece to work on a concertina. I personally would give this video an 11/10 (an extra point for effort and uniqueness). Have an amazing day!

      @@lightningspirit2166Well first of thank you for comparing me playing th HG to me riding at the grand national. Donkeys are great animals, really trustworthy, so the comparison there is appreciated too. But seriously, I'm not that stupid. I'm a terrible concertina player, I have a 15€ Hohner concertina. Yet every time I post a song using that, I get only positive comments. I'm a shitty Saz player, I got my baglama for 50€ on ebay, again I get no bad comments when I shoot videos with it. Yet, every time I play something in the 600-700€ price range, I get a couple of comments, from 1 / 2 yr old accounts, who identify the name of the maker (even when I don't mention it) and insult either me directly or more often the maker. Every time the same charade. It doesn't take Einstein to understand that there is a very small number of people on the planet who would feel angered or threatened by my videos. Hence, my question.

I always wanted to get the Imperial Intercontinental Organ but never was able to do so. I hope that VISCOUNT still have these great Organs. However, I noticed that the sounds here are very different from the Imperial version which was extremely popular in the Arab world during the late 70s and throughout the 80s before the introduction of KORG M1 and other keyboards at that time.
