The Polish movie With Fire and Sword, Ogniem i Mieczem directed by Jerzy Hoffman, available on a 2 DVD set from our local library (USA, Long Island), has a nobleman in 17th century shown at beginning of the 2nd DVD playing a hurdy-gurdy to entertain his troops while they sit out in a wood. Unfortunate though the instrument is quickly used to bash someone in the head -- showing I assume another use for the instrument than to scare cats and dogs. But the sound is really quite clear though possibly I imagine it went through several post-performance filters in the edit of the movie. Either that or the 17th century Poles/Ukranians had really good ears. -- Orgrease-Crankbait Video, audio, writings, words, spoken word, dialogs, graphic collage and the art of fiction in language and literature.
