An enjoyable kit to assemble. It took several hours, but was beautifully machined and went together easily, It included several spare parts, in case any broke during making, one of which came in handy when I did just that!

Improvements might include slightly heavier fishing line to use as strings, for a fuller tone. Plus a note on what the intervals are on the 'keyed' notes; Maybe pitch pipes, if you really can't be bothered with involving telephones and QR codes to tune it, when you've finished, but overall I'd recommend it to anyone who has a musical interest or likes models (the sun-and-moon gearing itself is intriguing) or wants to do something absorbing with the kids...

(When I can get a decent tune out of it, I'll use it for my next album!)

Model Hurdy Gurdy

Very well made and very entertaining to assemble with clear instructions. Be aware this does NOT make a playable hurdy gurdy , it is a model.

Best purchase ever, very fun to build, want to build another

I can say how much fun it was to make this. In fact I want to order another and paint it before I make it. If you like being creative get this, get it now.

Hurdy hurdy build

This didn't take long to put together, need to pay close attention to the application or wax to avoid squeaks.
Makes authentic sound.

Good design push fit to build, beware some joints need extra care when fitting, care to be taken for complete build.
