I'm giving my gurdy some clearly needed care tonight. It's saying something about how little I use the highest key's that I never noticed that one of the keys was broken.

You know what the world always needs?? More black #tshirts. There never seems to any with #lute s and #theorbo s and #hurdygurdy s. Well to heck with that ..what good is a consumer capitalist oligarchy if you can't get self promotional medieval instrument merch... So here is one I already got and two more I just ordered.

What to do while waiting for the #nerdyharpa to clear customs? Revisit the idea of a #cigarboxguitar #hurdygurdy

The crank shaft and wheel are now housed in a nice thick wood cigar box. I'm using #cbgitty box as the sound board and possible bottom...still figuring the sonic realities of that.

The neck is going to be at least one hardwood one with ,maybe, a fretboard. The drones are going on the sides in a as yet to be determined layout.

I did build the #NerdyGurdy in summer 2022.
It was a very interesting project and I had no prior experience with woodwork.

#HurdyGurdy
I touched my #HurdyGurdy (top one) again, first time in a year.
I took the battery out of the pick up, tuned it and even tried to play a little.

After that I tuned and tried the second from the top, too.

Next time I'll tune andn play the #NerdyGurdy

I no longer own the bottom one (this is an old picture)...

Please note the #CatsOfMastodon helper in the second picture 😁

First time, after a year, I touched my #HurdyGurdy again (well, actually even two of them).

First I just wanted to take the battery out of the pickup to prevent it from leaking, then I thought I could also tune it and after that I even tried to play something that (with some days of careful practice) could evolve into a song again.

Grabbed the second instrument to tune it, too...
