I wanted to know what a master player sounds like, and I was not disappointed. She also plays in a band!
Giver her lots of love in the comments on YouTube!
Her latest video:

I was looking for Hurdy Gurdy too. Like 2 weeks back. I didn't even know this instrument really existed before Sea of Thieves. So I tried to search for it and this was the first result.

I think it’s pretty obvious what needs to be done. Rare is going to need to bring her in to help get us more songs for our hurdy gurdy.

I'm kind of partial to this guy
That sounded really eerie but very beautiful at the same time. Weird.
Edit: Also, to add to this thread, here's a really interesting video from Bear McCreary, composer for Black Sails (a really good pirate show I can highly recommend while waiting for Sot!) about the Hurdy Gurdy.
Patty is great! Stumbled across the band she was in and then her version of "longing". Great artist.
The hurdy gurdy is a fantastic instrument and can create such a variety of feelings, as evident just on whats posted on this thread thus far! Its also a massive pain in the a**e instrument that can be screwed by humidity haha which totally adds to its charm that people make them sound as good as they do.
The lyrics for "The Longing"
I've seen many men wandering
all strong and brave and keen
Seen them growing into rulers
but I long for the sea
Heard a ship came from North
to our harbour for a day
and before misfortune knows
I'll be on my way
I'm all set to veer away
and I'm all set to go astray
All burdens I will leave ashore
to find what I've been longing for
Don‘t tell anyone
that this night I'll be gone
Greeting the eternal blue
right at the break of morn
Sailing t‘wards the unknown
with my crew on the sea
And the day that I return
a hero I shall be
I'm all set to veer away
and I'm all set to go astray
All burdens I will leave ashore
to find what I've been longing for.

I've been following Patty Gurdy for some time. She is also in a pirate band called Stormseeker.
She has the most amazing hurdy gurdies. I have a very crude and primitive one that I'm just starting to figure out.
I can't explain why but I'm hooked. I just got her EP from iTunes lol
This is a track from Patty's solo album she is recording.
