   Today I learned wtf a "Hurdy Gurdy" is.
   I know Middle Age instruments demand godlike craftwork but this thing is ridiculous levels of complex. I thought I didn't like folk music, until I heard the bass drop on this Hurdy Gurdy track.

     @RobertMaguire @sommer my favourite hurdy gurdy story is that when they made it a playable instrument in the video game Sea of Thieves, the recording artist played and they had to tell them, “that was incredible. Could you play it, uh…shittier? These are pirates playing waterlogged instruments.”

     If you proposed an instrument as complicated as the hurdy-gurdy today, people would laugh at you. This is despite the fact that we moderns have easy access to all manner of materials, and not just:

     1. maple
     2. hides
     3. anvil
     4. cat intestine
     5. end of list

     @RobertMaguire it has a relative in the Nyckelharpa, which has a similar tonality but uses a bow instead of crank and gets. Different. Results.
     However. Also crazy complex in its design.

     Wow!

     Rammstein: "Du Hast" (bardcore)

     That was more than a straight transfer! And the one guy plays the hurdy gurdy, lute and flute? Very cool.
