Description

Mechanical Hurdy-Gurdy model kit

Now you can boast about having built your very own instrument!

Inspired by the artistry of Celtic and Scandinavian medieval craftsmen and enriched with clever modern-day engineering, Ugears introduces the Hurdy-Gurdy - the world's first mechanical musical model and a true gem of the collection. It's the most extraordinary model kit there is, an all-in-one: a self-assembly model, a toy and a fully-fledged musical instrument. The Hurdy-Gurdy plays dancing melodies, from folk music to modern tunes, and bridges the gap between the Middle Ages and today. The unique blend of the joy of creating, playing music, engineering and design is a sure winner.


The history of the Hurdy-Gurdy
The Hurdy-Gurdy is a string instrument that produces a bagpipe-like sound using a hand-cranked wheel that rubs against the strings. So, much the same principle as a violin and a violin bow. The history of this instrument goes all the way back to the 11th century. After some changes, it became a common instrument among travelling musicians in England and went through its renaissance period in the later 17th-18th centuries, more as a musical instrument of the noble class for the amusement of the wealthy. These instruments were decorated by craftsmen with inlays and carvings and had the built-in cranking mechanism in a guitar- or lute-shaped body. Some call Hurdy-Gurdy music "medieval rock'n'roll", which we here at Hobbyviking think is pretty cool.

The idea behind it
Building on earlier versions, Ugears has created a Hurdy-Gurdy that you can build yourself, and in doing so learn the mechanics of the instrument from scratch. Thanks to the level of detail, the Hurdy-Gurdy closely resembles the instruments of the same name from earlier eras.

What's more, everything you need is included in the pack, and you can assemble the instrument without using glue or special tools. So if you make a mistake during the build, you can always go back and fix it.

Specs:
  • Number of parts: 292
  • Est. assembly time: 4-5 hours
  • Level: Advanced
  • For older children and up.
  • Model size: 40 x 16.5 x 22 cm
  • Package size: 37.8 x 17 x 5 cm
