Hello, someone just told me that he had saw the hurdy gurdy being referred to as a "Harpe de gourde", or gourd harp. I've never seen this term for a HG, and was just wondering if anyone has info on its origins. Thanks!
Are you sure it was really a gurdy? There's a West African instrument called a gourd harp (real name is "kora"):
