Hurdy gurdy wheel dimensions
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2015 10:43 pm
The Varquain style hurdy gurdy that I am currently building is shown in the drawing as having a 1/2" thick wheel. I would like to try using some fibre resin board for the wheel as it is very stable however the nearest thickness that I can find is thinner, closer to 1 cm.
Does anyone know whether this would present any problems when playing the instrument?
I have a feeling that it probably doesn't really matter at all. In fact the Pimpard that I just finished had a 3/4" thick wheel, but I would still appreciate any insight that folks might have.
