Homemade Hurdy Gurdy

This is my home made hurdy gurdy of my own design. Its more like a symphonie in some repsects. I do my best to play Branle des Chevaux (lit. Horse Play). A branle is a type of renaissance dance. Sorry for the low quality video, that's my camera's highest setting.

By the way, I should mention that I'm not a virtuoso nor am I a skilled luthier.

Quite impressive, I'm planning on doing one myself. Can you tell me where did you find your strings?

@linewalker012

I made it first with fishing line, bad choice. As a result the instrument is too long for viola/violin strings. I am using nylon guitar strings that I got at guitar center.

@g30r63neobeenet Thanks for all the compliments everyone. :) I'm going to try and make some time and make new and better recording, perhaps a new song too.
