Hurdy Gurdy Tablature

Playing the hurdy-gurdy without knowing notes - Hurdy Gurdy Tablature

Learn a new instrument, why not. The hurdy-gurdy came into my life by chance.

Unfortunately I can't read sheet music, so what should I do?

Analogous to the guitar, I thought about a kind of tablature.

The thought is simple.

Pure numbers are assigned to the bottom row of keys, i.e. 0,1,2,3,4,....

Numbers with "#" are assigned to the upper row of keys, i.e. 1#,2#,3#,....

bottom row key No. -> tone

0 -> G3, 1 -> A3, 2 -> B3, 3 -> C3, 4 -> D3, 5- > E3, 6 -> F3,

7 -> G4, 8 -> A4, 9 -> B4, 10 -> C4, 11 -> D4, 12 -> E4, 13 -> F4

upper row key No. -> tone

1# -> G#, 2# -> A#, 3# -> C#, 4# -> D#, 5# -> F# , 6# -> G#, 7# -> A#, 8# -> C#, 9# -> D#

[English Notation]

1# -> Ab, 2# -> Bb, 3# -> Db, 4# -> Eb, 5# -> Gb , 6# -> ab, 7# -> b, 8# -> db, 9# -> eb

Supplies

Since someone has to read the music, I decided to use a music notation program. Since it doesn't matter which one you take and these are usually chargeable, I don't want to make any product recommendations.

A simple version that can do a song line and lyrics is enough.

Step 1: Use the Music Notion Program

Edit your sheet music in the music notion program and let the software do the sheet music recognition by clicking on “Recognize Notes”.

Step 2: Enter the Corresponding Key Numbers

Now open a new song text line and write the corresponding key numbers above the respective note.

Step 3: Hurdy Gurdy Keys

Step 4: Back Side

Step 5: Done

Happy cranking !!
