Robert Mandel Symphonia Hurdy-Gurdy Review

This is the hurdy-gurdy I have just bought from Robert Mandel in Hungary. I hope you enjoy it - there are a couple of playing clips towards the end but please bear in mind that I am a complete beginner! Also - excuse the rookie error. I tuned my trompette to the same pitch as my melody string rather than an octave higher than my main drone string. Subsequent to the video it broke!! I’ll explain about this in my next video!!
