Custom-made hurdy-gurdy with many additional features, crafted in 2010 by Wolfgang Weichselbaumer. Original price: 11000 Euros.Model “Tenor”, characteristics and add-ons are the following:3 chanters — c g g'3 drones C/D, E/F, G/A 3 trompettes g/a, e/f, c/d4+4 sympathetic stringsMechanical pegsMetal tangentsA magnetic capo at each drone, a magnetic capo at each trompetteFingerboard under trompettes, fingerboard under dronesAdjustable chanter bridge3 adjustable drone bridgesBuilt-in sound pickups, integrated volume controls and an outer preamplifier (“Pro” system)Soft case – high quality, individually made Has two cracks on the upper deck (see the last 2 photos). After some repairs, adjustment and tuning would make a high-class instrument for intermediate and professional musicians.  The instrument hasn’t been played much, it’s in overall good condition (beside cracks). The reason for selling is that I don’t play the hurdy-gurdies anymore and wish to find a new owner for this fine-crafted instrument, someone who’d take care and enjoy its beautiful, deep and vibrant sound. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions. More photos can be sent on demand. SHIPPING: If you live in Europe the best way is to meet during the festival Le Son Continu which is in France from 13th till 16th of July 2017. I’ll bring the instrument with me from Moscow. If that is not suitable, I can ship it to your address internationally.
