- The hurdy gurdy: this instrument is awesome, and I'm happy there's an affordable DIY kit out there so I could have a go at building one for myself!
I bought this kit here:
www.nerdygurdy.nl
This video covers a brief explanation of what a hurdy gurdy is and how it works, and it contains the first half of the build.
I hope you enjoy it!

If Part One is any indication, this will easily be the best Nerdy Gurdy Build video out there. Clear, concise, and outstanding presentation and narration. Just so happens, I'm building mine at the moment also, but just a wee bit ahead, having already applied the finish and completed the key assembly. Very smart move leaving the remaining side-piece opened for the wheel placement, it helped me immensely. LOL, wish I had thought of using tape along with the clamps to secure the side pieces, there were a few spots between the clamps that took some extra effort to get them to cooperate.
Ooh that's so nice of you to say, thanks a lot! 🤗 I had been searching for NG build videos, but I couldn't find much. Besides for fun and me liking to document things, I wanted to make this video to give people an insight in the steps of the build, because it seemed so daunting to me before I started. The tape was a bit of an emergency-aid, because I only had one clamp. So I did the sides in small sections. Now off to choosing colors! 😁
Dankjewel TH-cam voor het aanraden van deze video, nu heb ik nog weer een project erbij wat twee jaar gaat duren 😂
Neat to see an earlier version of the Nerdy Gurdy, and all of the changes to the current version that I'm building. More 3D-printed parts and a different design for the head are the most obvious differences.
The hurdy gurdy community is very nice 😊
I hope to meet some players once I'm finished and I start learning!
Rat! I just bought two more violins and thought I was done for a while. Now I need to buy a nerdygurdy. You are an enabler!
Excellent video - it gives me an idea of the work involved.
Wow, this is really amazing and thanks for posting!👍🤩
Glad to hear you like it! 🤗🧡
Nerdy gurdy is a great name! This looks a lot of fun
It definitely is! 😁🤗
It looks awesome so far! I can't wait to hear it! Good work!
Thank you! 🧡 And it'll probably sound rubbish at first. 😅 There's a lot of adjusting needed to make it sound good.
That's fair. There's a lot of moving parts in that instrument!
really looking forward to seeing the end product. i legitimately may get one of these
Nice to hear, thanks!
Hello, fellow Dutchy, violinist and hurdy gurdyist here!
Als je serieus bezig wil gaan met draailier spelen (en dat kan ik me goed voorstellen, het is zeer verslavend) is er een stichting in Zeist waar je maandelijkse lessencursussen kan volgen. Het heet Stichting Draailier en Doedelzak, en ze bieden eventueel ook huurinstrumenten aan (wel met wachtlijst, wie had gedacht dat het zo in zwang zou zijn?). Ze geven ook beginnerscursussen en workshopweekenden, samenspelgroepen (waar je als violist ook bij kan spelen), en ze zijn ook vaak te vinden op Castlefest etc.
Bedankt! Ik ben die stichting al eens tegengekomen op Facebook. Zodra ik 'm af heb haal ik een lesboek en begin ik eerst zelf (ik ben erg van het methodisch en op noten leren), en als ik de smaak te pakken krijg, wil ik zeker eens met zo'n beginnerscursus meedoen. 🙂 Zeist is voor mij een uur rijden, dus dat is wel te doen.
Annie Hurdy Gurdy! Cool, I thought that music sounded familiar :)
😁
:)
Cool Thank you for sharing.
Thanks. 😊
I have been wanting a hurdy gurdy for some time now. Owning a laser cutter...this is interesting.
Niiice :) I'm curious about the result 😁
😊
I feel better knowing that you also had to tear apart after gluing despite dry fitting first. The super thin support pieces are giving me fits.
Glad to hear it was helpful. 🙂 And yes, it was annoying at times, but in the end, with sandpaper and patience, it turned out alright.

I see the "fun" in building this
Weird to hear a German song in an English video by a TH-camr from the Netherlands :D
I‘m soooo excited for the result and what it will sound like 🤩
Haha, I totally get that! I thought the song was very fitting, I love it when a hurdy gurdy is combined with rock or metal music. The medieval tunes are nice too, but it's the heavy stuff that got me excited for the gurdy. 😁 And I'm also very curious for the sound, but I'm not expecting too much. 😅
@@MarijkeViolin Yes, it sounds very cool! I now want a hurdy gurdy, too 😂 but I don‘t have the time or space to assemble all the parts. So I‘m looking forward to part 2 of this video series :D
Thanks for showing this. I hope to buy one of these kits. It's out of stock at the moment. They ship international which is good.
Nice to hear! New kits come in stock every Sunday between 8.30 and 9.00 PM (GMT+1) and they usually sell out within an hour. I hope you get yours soon!
@@MarijkeViolin Thanks for the info.
In the Monty Python "cheese sketch", a hurdy gurdy is being played in the background... Just lept to mind. I'll double check.. love your art work, music 🎵💪🎶.
Eh! I was wrong. 😆 My apologies. No sincerely! I am genuinely apologetic. No I don't need a tissue. Can't wait to hear you play more and more. 👋🎼
No problem! 😉 Maybe it was an instrument that sounds similar. And thank you! 🧡
@@NikkiRosetti Ah! A bouzouki has a nice and characteristic sound too. 😊
@@NikkiRosetti Venezuelan Beaver 🧀 cheese. Thanks for the clarification.
Great video! How much to build one for me? haha
Hi Marijke - Great video! BTW: It's too bad the mandolin wasn't to your liking. I thought you might have liked it since it is, after all, tuned to the exact same strings as the violin. I think you gave up too soon. Even though the mandolin is a chromatic instrument, you might’ve found it easier to play if you had just stuck to perhaps to one or two keys such as the key of G and the key of D when playing the mandolin. That's what I did. I only play the mandolin in the keys of C, G, D, F and Bb to keep the mandolin manageable and enjoyable for me. 👍 😊
Thanks for the tip! I even followed some video tutorials and learned to play a tune or two, but in the end I simply didn't like the instrument enough and I wasn't excited about playing. And pressing the strings was a bit painful on my fingers.
@@MarijkeViolin Same. I, too, bought a mandolin because it‘s got the same tuning as the violin. But it‘s much harder to play. The ukulele is much more convenient and it was no problem at all that it has a different tuning.
@@MarijkeViolin I can relate to that. 👍 For example, one of my favorite instruments to play is the alto saxophone (along with the violin of course), but my least favorite instrument to play is the soprano saxophone, even though it has the same fingering chart as the alto saxophone. I wish I had rented a soprano saxophone first to see if I would like it or not before purchasing one. But what's done is done. On the other hand, I'll admit, Kenny G does play a mean soprano sax. Happy fiddling. 🎻 ♫ 😊
@@christophertsiliacos8958 Saxophone is cool! I like trumpet too, or similar wind instruments that sound a bit lower.
@@christophertsiliacos8958 Good to hear. I'm also on the alto saxophone. I practise the sax straight after the violin. It makes for a nice finish to session as it feels good to blow the air out of the lungs, and to play along with some learning CD's.
I read the description of the video. I would not paint the instruments. I would use a colored varnish. Usually, instruments that have paint instead of varnish sound bad.
I plan to stain it. I used the word "painting" to say "I'm going to put color on it". 😉
@@MarijkeViolin well in that case, the hurdy-gurdy should sound fine.

Say you had never played the hurdygurdy or even the violin. Would you have started by making your own instrument? Because of the $$ savings? Seems like a lot of work and then maybe the average person fails at learning how to play well and it's all down the drain with a huge amount of frustration. I made a chromatic dulcimer from a kit and I never play it because it's sort of a completely different kind of dulcimer than my other ones. That was a hard and sad "experiment".
