Informations supplémentaires

"A hurdy gurdy is essentially a bowed string instrument, but instead of the vibrating string being set in motion by horse hair held taught on a wooden stick, as with a modern violin bow or its predecessors of the viol family, it is effected by a rotating wooden wheel impregnated with rosin, which is turned by the handle at the bottom end of the instrument. Instead of the strings being “stopped” to shorten the string length by the left hand fingers, as on a violin or guitar and so altering the note which sounds, there is a key box over the strings; the player activates the keys, which in turn press a small wedge shaped wooden “tangent” against the string to alter its vibrating length and hence the pitch."
