Small Walnut Trompette Dog for Hurdy-Gurdy

Specially designed for hurdy-gurdies fitted with smaller trompette dogs, this model is particularly suitable for certain instruments made by Denis Siorat or Philippe Mousnier.

Bring warmth and roundness to your playing with this walnut trompette dog, crafted from luthier-grade wood.

Compared with maple, walnut is generally appreciated for its less dry, rounder and warmer character. It is an interesting alternative for hurdy-gurdy players looking for a rich, full tone and a different sound colour.

Like all the trompette dogs offered by Cordiola, this model is individually handcrafted by Francis Auguste, hurdy-gurdy maker in Issoudun, France.

Pre-shaped and ready to be adapted to your instrument

This trompette dog is supplied pre-shaped to make fitting and adjustment easier.

However, it is not a ready-to-fit component: each dog must be individually adjusted and adapted to the hurdy-gurdy on which it will be installed.

Its final shape, dimensions and adjustment will therefore need to be refined according to the instrument and the desired response and sound.

A small dog with a rich tonal character

A fine alternative to a maple dog for hurdy-gurdy players looking for a rounder, warmer sound, while benefiting from a handcrafted component specifically designed for instruments requiring a smaller trompette dog.
