How to Play Hurdy-Gurdy - Section 1 - Instrument Basics and Posture

Hey everyone! This is the first in a series of videos we will be providing for beginner players. I’ve had a lot of students asking me to go over these basics, so me and Max figured it would be a good idea to produce a set of videos with step-by-steps that can help everyone. If you like this video and want to know more, subscribe and then you’ll get notifications on the next one.
