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.

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
