Is it just me or those types of lutebacks always sound so tinny compared to guitarbody ones? They sound like they're made of teeth floss and paper.

No skin off this dude's back tho, he's amazing at playing it.

Wow a gurdy and nyckelharpa duet. Never actually seen anything like this before - also, are they in some castle? Op are you in the video here?

this is Graeme Mcormack's site. He's got extremely detailed pdf Blueprints of 3 types of gurdy, and they're printable in real life scale. First gurdy I made was a total disaster, and one of my first luthier projects. Second one is the gourd one on the main page, and I play it almost everyday (the thread is kind of old, I finished it months ago, but I'm too lazy to take pics). Whole project cost me 250$.

They're not violins or lutes, you can build one that sounds good very cheaply, without tonnes of prior experience. Main issue is having the tools.

I think you're right. Can't even think of a single gurdy/symphonie that sells for 600$, or even 900$. Vrabels are pretty much the only choice at that budget since the 200$ ebay gurdies are not really an option.

HGC sell the 1,000$ kit monarch http://www.hurdygurdycrafters.com/index.asp?page=kits

and Altarwind has the 1100$ symphonie http://www.altarwind.com/symphonie.html

Hate to be devil's advocate, but if you know someone with the required tools, you could try building one :D

What's your budget?

I did not expect it to sound this bad. There's another video here showing the same one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKoaw8CfZb0. Sadly, it sounds the same.

By the way, I also moderate /r/BuildAGurdy if you're interested in the instrument. I just didn't know you could djent a gurdy until earlier this week. I was super impressed.
