Today's #forgotteninstrument, well not-so-forgotten, as it is a staple of any #mediaeval #revival or #folk band worth its salt... But what it I told you my first ever encounter in my teens with #contemporaryclassical or #moderncreative #music was through... the #hurdygurdy? Yes you heard it right! Meet hurdy-gurdist (is that a word?) Valentin Clastrier, on his tongue-in-cheek LP "Grands maîtres de la vielle à roue - Great Masters of the Hurdy-Gurdy"!
