Re: Nigel Eaton - Hurdy Gurdy
That is good. Trying to work out if he's using a loop pedal to layer the parts.

Re: Nigel Eaton - Hurdy Gurdy
He's pre-recorded the base and chordal accompaniment, the tune and rhythmic drone are played live.

Love the sound of the amplified instrument. It has a mean edge to it.

Re: Nigel Eaton - Hurdy Gurdy
i know the song the hurdy gurdy man by Donovan but never thought anything of it. just shows that you learn something new every day. fantastic sound and i'm surprised i have never heard one until now or never recognised it if i have.

Re: Nigel Eaton - Hurdy Gurdy
Are you aware of the Nyckelharpa? A 16 string instrument that uses a bow and keys that probably predates Medieval times (Probably Swedish in origin.) A fine exponent is Vicki Swann who plays in a duo with Johhny Dyer, they are very good. Here is a 'short' of Vicki's playing
