The Hurdy-Gurdy is not just a curious 3D puzzle, but a fully-functional musical instrument. An ingenious combination of iconic design, fascinating mechanics and full-fledged functionality makes this model absolutely unique.

Just imagine, how the puzzle you singlehandedly assembled becomes not only an animated mechanism but also acquires its own voice! And the range of music styles this voice can cover is impressive: everything from simple nursery rhymes to rock-n-roll in only six keys and two strings – the melody and the drone one.

 Working on the model, Ugears designers, and engineers drew inspiration from the works of Celtic and Scandinavian medieval craftsmen to merge the original ingenuity with modern mechanics. 

Technically, the Hurdy-Gurdy from Ugears has several outstanding features:

• the strings of the model are made of special material to make sure the sound is maximally similar to the original. In choosing the right material we ignored the regular nylon thread and decided in favor of fluorocarbon, which ensures increased durability and long-lasting performance.
• The model has a string stopping control and a mechanical system for string tension adjustment.
• It is the only model using rosin as a friction material to increase the friction between the wheel and the strings. 
• A planetary reduction gear built in the curved body of the instrument creates the effect of planets rotating around the sun.
• The key box has a beautiful decorative cover hiding the keys.
