I am building my first Hurdy Gurdy and hope this thread will keep going. The more ideas and opinions shared means the more new builders can learn. Whether you choose to buy or build, the main thing is to keep hurdy gurdy information from going the way of the dinosaur. I hope to add to this forum sharing photos and ideas from my first gurdy build.
I found out about hurdy gurdys on the internet while searching violin- making websites. There are many violin-making books, blogs, websites, etc., but information on building gurdies is scarce. Building notes and sharing ideas on gurdy construction should be encouraged, and this seems like a great site for that. Like any craft, a builder can start with basics and take it to any level he/she likes. I feel encouraged with the carving of my first peghead and hope it is just the first of many. I was able to start this journey with plans shared by Graeme McCormack of Antiquated Strings. I really appreciate a forum like this for sharing all aspects of the hurdy gurdy.
