If the unique sound of the hurdy-gurdy has captured your heart and you want to go straight to playing rather than building, or you already have a hurdy-gurdy and are thinking of adding to your collection, we have several styles for sale that will arrive ready to play.

We try to keep one or two on the ready to ship shelf, but due to its growing popularity and the individual tastes of each musician, this is not always possible. Our primary goal is to build your hurdy-gurdy according to your instructions.

Pictured below is our Chromatic Hurdy-gurdy with two melody strings (chanterelles), two drones, metal tangents, Banded Baltic birch Wheel 6 7/8” all Gut strings, constructed of Curly European Sycamore, with Ebony & maple keys, and Sitka Spruce Soundboard.
