HURDY-GURDY, UDELFANGEN NEAR TRIER, C. 1800
On this unrestored but conserved historical hurdy-gurdy from around 1800, two of the four pegs are preserved. The turned wheel is driven by the forged crank.
The right part of the bridge and a ring for a possible carrying strap are present. The body with its flat bottom is mounted with iron nails. The tangent box is missing. The entire instrument was conserved and cleaned by Karin Richter (then a staff member at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg). Until recently, a comparable instrument was exhibited at the Musikinstrumentenmuseum Goslar. The instrument is in a state of preservation commensurate with its age.
Dimensions: Length: 74cm, width: 33cm, height: 21.5cm.
