Even more Niche Music Humour

In this video, OAE musician Adrian Woodward introduces us to the original all-in-one portable dance band, the hurdy gurdy. It is a funny instrument so it is not surprising that it has received so many funny comments on YouTube. Here is a round-up of some of our favourite niche baroque humour for the hurdy gurdy.
