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.
