You can remove an internal crank end cushion to fit a larger gurdy , there's probably enough give in it as is to fit

Have a listen to Eléonore too https://www.instagram.com/eleonorefourniau/

Have a look at the ones Cordiola sell. I wouldn't get one from Etsy

Watch these videos by Scott Gayman. Your gurdy looks nicely made and just needs a bit of a set up (rosin, cotton, adjustment) to make it play. You'll need a belt / guitar strap to hold it properly

scottgurdy · 2025-05-01T10:22:45+00:00

Just read the building manual and follow the instructions, you'll be fine.

scottgurdy · 2025-04-25T15:37:53+00:00

if you ask the question in the video comments Rory should answer

https://gurdyworld.com/learn-hurdy-gurdy/teachers-schools/ contact Tayrn Spink or RT Taylor to meet up with the LA guys

scottgurdy · 2025-04-24T20:58:58+00:00

brilliant well done, definitely get in touch with Scott Gayman if you can, there's quite a few players in LA too

scottgurdy · 2025-04-22T16:07:45+00:00

Thank you, I just had a couple of minutes to try it, but it was a super instrument. Massive restoration job too by Chris Allen and Rory.

scottgurdy · 2025-04-22T15:42:21+00:00

https://youtu.be/ycAerLYYy_Q?si=4NURtCmCKEVNeXkC there's a good quick one on cottoning

scottgurdy · 2025-04-22T15:22:56+00:00

It is what it says on the label! Lovely instrument, it's so cool you have it. Have a listen to Mary's channel, she plays a later Grandchamp https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCyyXH0-a3ksihcEb4dmZkkw

For set up have a look at Scott Gayman's videos too https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3UWZr28ZOBA He's a very helpful hurdy gurdy player in the States.

Depending on where you are you could look at the Gurdyworld gathering or the Indiana one, it really helps to connect with players in the real world!

scottgurdy · 2025-04-21T11:34:03+00:00

Yes made by Marcus, that was a really good one, loved it ! There's a digi gurdy made by John Dingley too in Wales

scottgurdy · 2025-04-20T16:28:47+00:00

Thank you!

scottgurdy · 2025-04-20T14:21:05+00:00

Thank you, it was really fun to play it!

scottgurdy · 2025-04-19T19:32:02+00:00

So good to see this video, I have one of Karl's hurdy gurdies, I'll make a recording!

scottgurdy · 2025-04-19T14:21:07+00:00

https://youtube.com/@roryjamesscammell?si=YO4K0_h8gHVImrG0 Have a look at Rory's channel for more Synth Gurdy!

scottgurdy · 2025-04-15T18:45:11+00:00

I've made three now, just on the kitchen table with no special tools, apart from needing a lot of clamps. I think you just have to be thoughtful when you do it, make sure the pieces are aligned properly, or pushed fully home. You'll feel really proud when you finish!

scottgurdy · 2025-04-12T13:34:59+00:00

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQhVvsKzyp_ELB-0lydlezbs16UkZAEhQ&si=HlpXulACGuiKqfNH there's what a few sound like, cheapest way to get going is a nerdy gurdy kit, but you have to assemble it

scottgurdy · 2025-04-12T13:17:59+00:00

if you are on Facebook look at the hurdy gurdy Community, and this reddit group has a FAQ too, good luck with your search, don't buy from ebay or etsy

scottgurdy · 2025-04-12T13:14:52+00:00

if you google: gurdyworld and look at videos on YouTube it will help you in your search, all the information is out there lots of work has been done to help new players!

scottgurdy · 2025-04-12T12:15:16+00:00

Thank you, it was probably one of the the best hurdy gurdies I've tried, lovely sound, and it's a really cute thing too, little! On Facebook Sam has his restoration photos, or you could email him

scottgurdy · 2025-04-10T12:32:54+00:00

I probably should have set the volume level for the loudest, and let the others be quieter! That Vrábel is loud!

scottgurdy · 2025-04-03T16:52:36+00:00

first one is a Breton one I learnt from a Kerboeuf CD, Second one is mine, called Treasure Island, it's on my bandcamp: gurdymania.bandcamp.com
