  • The hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument that produces a sound resembling one of a bagpipe by a hand-turned wheel rubbing against the strings working similarly to a violin and a fiddle bow
  • The history of this instrument begins in the 15th century. One of the earliest forms of the hurdy-gurdy was the organistrum (a portable organ) in Medieval Europe
  • After some modifications it became a common instrument among travelling musicians in England and went through its renaissance period in the later 17th-18th centuries as more of the noble class musical instrument for the amusement of the rich
  • Those instruments were decorated by craftsmen with inlays and carving and had the built-in hurdy-gurdy mechanism into the guitar or lute body
  • Some call the Hurdy-Gurdy music “a medieval rock’n’roll”, which we find pretty cool, It captured us and we decided to create the Ugears’ version of the Hurdy-Gurdy.
  • Inspired by the art of medieval craftsmen, enriched by smart engineering of the XXI century and created by Ugears engineers’ collective imagination
  • Richly detailed with an eye toward romance and artistry, our version of this indelible symbol of medieval life and adventure impresses all who come across it and get a chance to play it
  • It’s easy to play: just turn a crank with one hand putting the rhythm into the music and push the keys with the other
  • It is made of attractive, high quality wooden material, All parts are pre-cut into plywood boards and are easily removed for assembly
