We just finished a fun custom instrument in the shape of a Coffin!

Hi everyone! We will be out of the woodshop Oct 26- November 6.  Because of our travels during that time, we will be away from the phone & computers (email).
We apologize in advance for the inconvenience.
We've got to travel and hear some LIVE 'gurdy music sometime, right?
We'll be back in November, to 'crank' out more hurdy gurdies!

They submitted this tune for the 'Tiny Desk' competition. Their energetic performance is infectious!   We wish them luck with their submission.

We just received these pictures from the current production of 'Shakespeare In Love'.  It's a hurdy gurdy world!  The play, which features our 'Merry Wood' hurdy gurdy, is still running through October. More details at

The Northbrook Symphony Orchestra (Northbrook, IL) will once more perform pieces featuring the Hurdy Gurdy as the solo instrument.  The soloist, Jim Kendros, will play a La Priel for the occasion on December 6, 2015.  More info coming soon!

Last Summer year we announced that we crafted a hurdy gurdy for the Canadian production Klondike.  Here in the U.S. it aired on the Discovery Channel over several nights starting January 21st. ​http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2761630/

-Yes, that was one of our hurdy gurdies shown on Saturday Night Live recently!  
Pictured are some stills from the show- shown is Regine Chassagne of the band Arcade Fire. She used personal instrument for the skit!  Once I get it back, I think I'll go spoon it  for a while :) 

The Canadian production Klondike will be using one of our hurdy gurdies the miniseries.  We'll post again when we find out the release date!
