Used to accompany religious singing, the instrument evolves in its form and functions over time.

Here are some common terms worth highlighting:<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][nectar_image_with_hotspots image=”2134″ preview=”https:\/\/www.cordiola.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/organologie_ok-1.jpg” color_1=”Accent-Color” hotspot_icon=”numerical” tooltip=”hover” tooltip_shadow=”large_depth” animation=”true”][nectar_hotspot left=”35.5325%” top=”77.3629%” position=”top”]\n

Sound box<\/h5>\n

We are talking about a flat hurdy-gurdy (which would come from guitar bodies) and a round hurdy-gurdy, similar to the morphology of the lute.\u00a0[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”23.099593495934958%” top=”34.71847502245108%” position=”bottom”]\n

Peg box<\/h5>\n

This part receives the pegs, which allow the tension of the strings. Traditionally located at the opposite end of the crank, this part can be plain or sculpted with a carved head.[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”46.5471%” top=”26.0471%” position=”bottom”]\n

Keyboard<\/h5>\n

This elongated, rectangular box receives the melody strings and the keys which slide to affect the vibrating length of the strings. The keys are equipped with tangents, small pieces of wood which press on the strings when the key is pressed.\u00a0[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”36.5767%” top=”38.0697%” position=”right”]\n

Wheel (and wheel cover)<\/h5>\n

The wheel rubs the strings and sets them into vibration. This \u201cperpetual bow\u201d, whose surface is very sensitive, is protected by the wheel cover (arched piece of wood). The edge of the wheel is coated with rosin, as with all bowed instruments.\u00a0[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”11.9924%” top=”60.6584%” position=”right”]\n

Crank<\/h5>\n

The crank is located at the end of an axle, on which the wheel is fixed. The metal \u201cs\u201d receives the handle. Wood, bone, porcelain, plastic\u2026 Try the materials of the different handles to find the system that suits you![\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”47.4244%” top=”52.7967%” position=”right”]\n

Soundboard<\/h5>\n

The top completes the resonance box, like the stretched skin of the drum. The vibrations of the strings are transmitted to the table by bridges. The wood this table is made of can radically change the sound of a hurdy-gurdy![\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”85.77574525745257%” top=”27.503777177369315%” position=”bottom”]\n

Tailpiece<\/h5>\n

This inclined piece of wood, directly above the crank, serves as an anchor point for the chanterelles and the trompette (chien) tuning peg.[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”76.4241%” top=”26.2348%” position=”bottom”]\n

Bridges and nuts<\/h5>\n

The chanterelle bridge is completed by the 2 bridges which hold the drones and the ears (8) and nuts x2 (8) which direct the strings into the pegbox. These bridges transmit the vibration of the strings into the soundboard.[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”29.9187%” top=”51.4303%” position=”bottom”]\n

The Chien<\/h5>\n

also know as the dog or trompette (trumpet) this loose bridge vibrates under the trompette string to create an accompanying rhythmic \u201cbuzz\u201d sound (or \u201cbark\u201d) when the player accelerates the handle enough.[\/nectar_hotspot][\/nectar_image_with_hotspots][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_image=”2132″ bg_position=”right top” background_image_loading=”default” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”strings” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”default” line_thickness=”2″ divider_color=”accent-color” custom_height=”50″ custom_line_width=”50″][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” right_padding_desktop=”50%” right_padding_tablet=”0″ text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”The strings”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top-bottom” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1718100635333{padding-right: 10% !important;}”]\n

The sound of the instrument is obtained by the vibration of a string. This vibration is implemented by the wheel.

The Chanterelles<\/h5>\n

The melody is played by the \u201cchanterelles,\u201d gut strings that run through the keyboard. The vibrating length of the strings is shortened by the keys. There are 23 black diatonic keys and white semitone keys (2 octaves) for a soprano Hurdy Gurdy[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”21.6731%” top=”53.3176%” position=”bottom”]\n

Trompette<\/h5>\n

A string, called a \u201ctrompette”, rests on a movable bridge, the \u201cdog\u201d or \u201cchien”. The vibration of the chien is regulated by a peg, placed on the tailpiece. The impulses given by the crank accentuate this vibration. This is the rhythmic part of the hurdy-gurdy.[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”30.4119%” top=”43.6843%” position=”bottom”]\n

Mouche<\/h5>\n

This string is called a mouche or \u201cfly\u201d. (fly is not used) This light but useful drone string is tuned in unison or third in relation to the chanterelles.[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”58.9244%” top=”53.7658%” position=”right”]\n

Small drone and big drone<\/h5>\n

The hurdy-gurdy can produce \u201cdrone\u201d music. The drone strings accompany the melody. They are traditionally tuned to the octave or third or fifth in relation to chanterelles. The small and large drones (opposite the musician) are often made of round-wound metal on gut.[\/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”49.1687%” top=”89.9246%” position=”top”]\n
