As a bassoonist, I am beyond fascinated to learn that the hurdy gurdy also uses a seat strap!
It rolls off your lap because it's shaped like a watermelon. I don't play a gurdy but from the rounded guitars the gourd banjo I've played, maybe round looks cool like a big noisy half of a butt, but an instrument you cant comfortably hold is annoying design. Funny choice when you think about what it took to build that thing.
You'd be surprised! There is no shaped gurdy that doesn't fall off your lap. All gurdy players use a strap. Guitar backed, box shaped, any shape. They aren't heavy instruments and the cranking motion is impossible to control while the gurdy moves even a little bit.
The luteback is probably the most ergonomic shape of them all - in terms of design. Some gurdies even with a strap like to slip around, like a teardrop shape.
