Recently I got my Nerdy Gurdy and your videos are pure Gold! Thank you so much!
It's my first instrument but it's so much fun :) Turning the crank in rhythm with the keys and the metronome is really tricky. It's like my brain is melting 😂

Great video! I hope you will make more and teach us how to perform the "coup de 1", "coup de 2", etc with the crank

1. Sorry for the non-professional question. If the time signature is 3/4, does something change in cranking or does it stay half for a bit? Down-up-down for 3/4?

2. Why is the starting point not the lowest or highest, like 6 or 12 on a clock? It looks like the first bit is shorter than the next.

I have a general sheet music question: When we do an accidental sign to carry on throughout the bar and we have to use a natural sign to cancel it, why not just have it so that the accidental sign is for each note? Then wouldn't there be no need for natural signs or the context of other notes with accidentals on them?
