STEP 1: Adjusting the height of the strings
The strings should touch the wheel gently. The hurdy-gurdy produces a sound resembling one of a bagpipe by a hand-turned wheel rubbing against the strings working similarly to a violin and a fiddle bow.
Turn the small ventils clockwise on the bridge to decrease the height and counter-clockwise to increase of the height of the strings
STEP 2: Switching off a bourdon string
Before tuning the first string – the melody string - please switch off the bourdon string using a little lever in the keybox.
STEP 3: Tuning a melody string
Tune the respective peg on the head to the D note. You can do this by ear or by using a free online chromatic (guitar) tuner app.
D note is our recommendation because it fits the Hurdy-Gurdy’s sound the best.
STEP 4 : Tuning a bourdon string
Tuning the respective peg in unison to the melody string (D note in our example) or in any melodic interval (quart, quint, octave).
Again you can do this by ear or by using a free online chromatic (guitar) tuner app
STEP 5: Waxing the wheel
Wax the wheel with a piece of rosin from the kit to improve the sound and you are ready to play Hurdy-Gurdy.
