HURDY-GURDY
The hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument that produces sound by a hand crank-turned,
rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin bow, and
single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. Melodies are played
on a keyboard that presses tangentssmall wedges, typically made of woodagainst one
or more of the strings to change their pitch. Like most other acoustic stringed instruments, it
has a sound board and hollow cavity to make the vibration of the strings audible.
