UGears Hurdy-Gurdy

Dating back its roots either to Medieval Europe or the Middle East, the Hurdy-Gurdy was a common sight on the streets of the-16th-century France. The poetic name of this instrument matches its unusual appearance and sound. Different sources have compared it to the sound of a violin or a bag-pipe.

But it is not just a stylish accessory, it is a fully-functioning musical instrument that requires tuning! It takes between 4 and 8 hours to assemble the pre-cut all-wooden parts of the Hurdy-Gurdy.
