Subject: RE: BS: Differences in types of pipes

Hurdy Gurdy is a strung beasty,sounded by a friction wheel turned by one hand with a sort of keyboard for the other hand.If the recording set up is not right they can sound like,or be mistaken for a Bagpipe to the unwary as there is a constant note from the friction wheel turning,a bit like a drone.
