;If you frequent European folk festivals, or have just been binge-watching Black Sails<\/a>, you already know about the hurdy-gurdy<\/a> \u2013 a stringed instrument<\/a> that looks like a steam-punk violin and sounds like a bagpipe.<\/p>\n

But what use is a hurdy-gurdy if your band consists of neither folk musicians nor pirates? Good question! If you are looking for something exotic, unique and versatile<\/a> for your music production sessions, the hurdy-gurdy is not a bad bet at all.<\/p>\n

Black Sails composer Bear McCreary<\/a> explains how he crafted the catchy theme tune that impressed the show\u2019s producer with everything from wailing bagpipes, to deep undulating drone sounds, buzzing saws and ticking percussion \u2013 all made by the same instrument.<\/p>\n\n
