The hurdy gurdy is a stringed instrument that produces sound
by a crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel
functions much like a violin bow, and single notes played on the instrument
sound similar to those of a violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that
presses tangents—small wedges, typically made of wood—against one or more of
the strings to change their pitch. Like most other acoustic stringed
instruments, it has a sound board to make the vibration of the strings audible.
Thank you, Jessica.
