Will re a Hurdy Gurdy!
I come from and Early Music background and a HG was always on the cards for me to make....BUT it was not until the CBN taught me a great lesson "No Rules" just have fun.

I never made one in the past because of "tradition" But now i have one.. soon to be two.

Be careful wanting one. Have a listen on U Tube before you enter the frustrating process of making a HG from scratch. I can put you on to some FREE plans but they are basically Traditional.

thanks for the tip mate.
yeah i've tryd the drilling,filing etc technique to no avail.
i noticed in your photos you used a partagas habana box on one of your masterpieces.
how did it go in terms of sound?
the reason i ask is im using the same box as a ukelele for my next project.
