Hi David

Try the low drone at                                    A
Maybe another drone a bit higher  at             D

The first 4 notes seem to be                          G   G   F   D

The melody goes down to C so adjust your melody string to C or lower, probably A

good luck
r.t.

Hello,

On YouTube I have been listening to a Russian folk tune played on hurdy gurdy.  I would like to learn to play it, but I can't seem to get started.  It sounds like it's in a minor key or some sort of mode.  Does anyone know what the starting note is or what drones to use?  If I can get started on the melody, I think I can figure out the rest.  I would really appreciate any help, it is a haunting tune.  Here is the website:
