Key Features

  • The hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument that produces a sound resembling one of a bagpipe with a hand-turned wheel rubbing against the strings working similarly to a violin and a fiddle bow.
  • The history of this instrument begins in the 15th century. One of the earliest forms of the hurdy-gurdy was the organistrum (a portable organ) in Medieval Europe. After some modifications, it became a common instrument among travelling musicians in England and went through its renaissance period in the later 17th-18th centuries as more of the noble class musical instrument for the amusement of the rich. Those instruments were decorated by craftsmen with inlays and carving and had the built-in hurdy-gurdy mechanism into the guitar or lute body. Some call the Hurdy-Gurdy music "a medieval rock'n'roll", which we find pretty cool. It captured us and we decided to create the Ugears' version of the Hurdy-Gurdy.
  • Inspired by the art of medieval craftsmen, enriched by smart engineering of the XXI century and created by Ugears engineers' collective imagination.
  • Richly detailed with an eye toward romance and artistry, our version of this indelible symbol of medieval life and adventure impresses all who come across it and get a chance to play it.
  • The Ugears Hurdy-Gurdy is a fully-fledged musical instrument. It's easy to play, just turn a crank with one hand putting the rhythm into the music and push the keys with the other. A unique combination of good taste, wood, and mechanics.
  • Self-assembled, no glue needed. 4-5 hours estimated time of assembly.
  • Medium level. A total of 292 pieces parts count. 15.7 x 6.5 x 8.7 in (400 x 165 x 220mm) model size.
