Insanity Samples – The Gurdy Hurdy Gurdy Wheel Fiddle (KONTAKT)

GURDY is the most complete and full-featured sampled hurdy-gurdy (or as we call it, Wheel Fiddle) instrument on the market. Every nuance and detail inherent in real life has been painstakingly recreated, both at the sampling and script level, allowing you to use realistic hurdy-gurdy playing techniques in your digital environment.

Fully chromatic construction for each drone string, adaptive twists and other live performance techniques for the melody strings. Plus, there’s aftertouch and a movable “dog buzz” threshold for the iconic buzzing bridge effect.

There’s even percussion sounds and buzzing fingernail slides – your inner folk pirate virtuoso will be yearning for freedom.

We set out to build the wheel fiddle of our dreams, and the result is GURDY!
