Hurdy Gurdy Reviews | Catnip B by Radoslav Malisz 

Quick note from the maker. This particular instrument is first prototype I made from scrap material, just to see if some of my ideas will work. That's why it doesn't have proper thingy for disengaging the trompette, and overall built quality is quite poor. Final version is more refined and consistent, 11/10 in my opinion. :P Thank you Sergio for a nice review.

Mine is finally done, going in the mail tomorrow. Im so exited to finally have my own real hurdy gurdy

I recognize Noelle's studio anywhere~ She's the one who convinced me to get my Catnip B! I can't wait for it to be finished! I'm SO excited!

Glad to see you back! Now that i have your opinion on it I'm even more excited to have mine arrive in the next months! Can't wait

Good review. The Catnip sounds great. 👍🏻😁

I had two of Radoslaw's gurdies a few years ago. He's great to work with and he's grown in skill over the years. The one thing to look out for is that I've had issues with his string pressure adjustment pegs start to bend or strip because they weren't anchored down to the soundboard well enough. Hopefully it's an issue that he's fixed, but you won't know for a few months.

Few months ago I ordered my first gurdy from Ancestore. It is APLO and I am very looking forward to finally have my hands on it! It has been my dream to play that instrument since my teen years when I first heard the instrument... I hope the learning process will be fun. I play tin whistles and low whistles for many years so at least I am not going start the learning process without any experience with instruments. And also I played keyboards and guitar for few years. I am so excited about the new gurdieeeeee ♥

Hooray!! A new video!! 🎉

Awesome instrument my friend. Greetings from Montréal!

This is the hurdy-gurdy I went for- glad to see you rate it well! Lots of functionality for a low price and a short waiting list. I've had a bit of trouble tuning the strings to get it to sound right though (the fault being my incompetence, not the instrument)- what do you have the melody strings tuned to? Thanks.

I suspect that the knob may settle down with a bit of use as the surface of the wooden hole get polished from rubbing against the metal crank shaft. If not I wonder if a little dry graphite powder may help? I am not an expert here so for all I know it could do more harm than good.

What is the song you use for your intro called? Also, I'm glad to see you're back!

Lol, RU-vid auto subtitles think the trompette is applause!

Why the coins? 😮

Hi, I'm looking to buy my first gurdy and I was wondering which one you would recommend for an entry level instrument, the Catnip B or the Sirena from Sedo Garcia?
