Valentin Clastrier (born Gérard Clastrier, 1947) is a French musician and composer, specializing in contemporary classical music, avant-garde, and jazz for the hurdy-gurdy. Before Clastrier's innovations, other musicians have been using the instrument in the performance of European Medieval and folk musics.
