The hurdy-gurdy is generally thought to have originated from fiddles in either Europe or the Middle East. The hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument that produces sound by a hand crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. These instruments can be decorative and I have added my own decoration to this lute backed instrument.
