Looks like a really bad drawing of a hurdy gurdy. Don't know if you could build one like that. The artist seems to have lost the strings and keybox.

Is this a strange lute thing, or is it a bad depiction of a gurdy? That is either a crank or a cranked neck. Any guesses? Cause if it is some general shape of gurdy, just without details depicted, I think I have found what I am looking for in size and shape and soundholes and such. Thanks Chris
