    Related video on how the hurdy gurdy works, that I found earlier this month after an awesome hurdy-gurdy song was submitted here: How EXACTLY does the hurdy gurdy work? - Patty Gurdy

      I went down a Hurdy Gurdy rabbit hole about six months ago. Fascinating instrument. The song that stays with me to this day and I still listen to uses modern electronics, namely a loop pedal and some sort of distortion, to create what could be considered a pretty modern-sounding song, but with that obvious Hurdy Gurdy sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypuaJLHK_LQ

        Dang, you just sent me down a rabbit hole too... I have been listening to YouTube autoplay Hurdy Gurdy songs after listening to the one you linked for 45+ min now. :P

          What fascinates me about the instrument is that it allows bending of keyed melody notes. Not many keyed acoustic instruments allow for that. It makes for some very interesting music.

    He used to have quite a few videos online, with a lot of this looping technique and and other effects. Now he only has a small presence online, unfortunately. I stumbled on the hurdy gurdy back when this video was fresh, 2010, this song was always my favorite.
