My finished hurdy gurdy
Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2021 1:06 pm
Here are some pics of the finished unit. I used free plans from the internet but changed most everything to make it my own. I looked at a lot of you tube stuff and professional builders to try and get an idea of how to build this. I wasn't aware of this site until after i built it so i had to study pictures and do the best i can. Wish i found this site earlier.
I do have pics of them but i seam to have reached a limit on posting pics or it froze on me.
I glued a strip of mahogany into the back and then carried up the end and tail piece and lid cover. I didn't want to make the tangents with the traditional wooden peg pushed into the key so i decided to glue a brass pipe to a strip of cherry and attached it to the keys with a 4/40 cap head screw.I do have pics of them but i seam to have reached a limit on posting pics or it froze on me.
