hurdy gurdy

this has got to be the strangest instrument, you crank a wheel that spins on the strings and press the keys to play

developed in the medevil period, the only way i can discribe the sound is a stringed bagpipe



song starts at 1:20

I've always wondered what the lyrics in "China Doll" meant:

"If you can abide it let the hurdy-gurdy play,
Stranger ones have come by here before they flew away"

Is it weird that I actually like the music he's playing?

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Tbh it reminds me more of a fucked up sitar than a bagpipe.  Although now im having second thoughts cause it sounds like that too.

it's a drone instrument--both the bagpipes and sitar feature a drone

Tone wise it also has similarities to both, with the buzz it resembles a sitar and without it it resembles highland pipes/electric guitar.

I think the term is also used to refer to cranked music boxes (think organ grinder with a monkey,) some of these pop culture references may be talking about that rather than the medieval instrument.
