Listen to Ed Sheeran's BAD HABITS Performed On Medieval Instruments

Youtuber Patty Gurdy does some pretty amazing covers and original music playing an old instrument called a hurdy gurdy. If you haven’t seen one before, it looks like an extra fat lute with a crank that is used to produce the sound.

Patty Gurdy has done a really good cover of Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” that features the hurdy gurdy and another medieval instrument called an octave harpa. The song still sounds modern with the drum beat, but she has replaced the guitar with the hurdy gurdy and the synthesizer with the octave harpa. The overall effect of using these old instruments in a modern way makes such an interesting sound, you just have to listen to it.

Check out the rest of her channel to hear the hurdy gurdy played in a variety of styles including the folk music it’s more traditionally used for.
