Alternatively, G melody string and one or two drones in C
A low G melody string would sound very nice if you have one.
The first four notes would be
F F E flat C

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

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:
