Paul Mills | Instrument??on Oscars (37) | RE: Instrument??on Oscars | 01 Mar 04 |
The instrument was indeed a hurdy gurdy. The crank turns a rosined wheel which rubs against a set of drone strings (which I could actually hear on the broadcast sound). The keys (which Sting didn't use because he probably doesn't know how to) bring melody strings into contact with the turning wheel. It's a fascinating instrument. |
