- Finally, the Nerdy Gurdy is finished! In this video I'm taking you through the final part of the build, the set-up and... playing it! Also, I'll be attending a workshop where I learn how to play it, which is really exciting!
The Nerdy Gurdy is a DIY build kit made from lasercut plywood and 3D-printed parts, to build a basic but fully functioning hurdy gurdy, which is a medieval instrument that has some similarities with the modern day violin.
I bought my kit here:

I can't even tell you how reassuring it is to hear you got the same "shriek of the damned" from the bourdons that I did. Four months since I finished my gurdy & I'm still tinkering with strings, cotton, rosin, tension & height. My dog still won't buzz. So don't despair, you're far from the only person to face a long fight to get their instrument sounding right.
Haha, nice to know indeed! I have it playable now, but it's a matter of minutes before something starts to shriek again. 😜
@@MarijkeViolin Haha love it ! 😅😝well done with the build fabulous instrument though 🙀😻(what a f%&*ed up sound LOL shriek of the damned hahaha you lot are funny🤣
😲Wow! You did great job 👍👍👍 The instrument looks beautiful❤
Thanks a lot! I really like it too. ^_^
2:44 … improvised clamps! Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!! 👍
Kudos to Jaap Brand and his Nerdy Gurdy! It gets a basic, functioning hurdy gurdy into the hands of enthusiasts that don’t have the thousands of dollars necessary to buy a “pro” model…
I am so happy to see your accomplishment! Thank you for sharing! God bless you and God love you!
Thank you for saying! 😊✨
Thank you for making this little series of videos! I saw the nerdy gurdy kit while looking for more budget friendly options to get into playing the Hurdy Gurdy but gave up on the Nerdy Gurdy because I thought it required actual woodworking still, with like bending wood and sawing pieces and such.
Seeing that it's mostly just gluing pieces together and sanding them to fit better is a big relief. I'll probably be going for this option after all once I'm ready to make a purchase (which is much sooner now! ☺️).
Beautiful job!
Love your laugh at 0:16!
Am working through my Nerdy Gurdy Linotte build and am enjoying/appreciating your videos. I actually came across them looking to see just how loose the keys should be. I suspect that you had to enlarge the holes in the key box (2:06) because you painted it, which added an additional thickness to the wood (along with possible grain raise from staining the keys.) I used a dye stain (supposedly finer particles than regular stain), and was testing fitting a few, to see if I'll need to sand down any grain raise.
You'll find it easier to play if you use a guitar strap adjusted so that it's rather tight around your waist. You did a VERY nice job. It's common to have trouble with the upper trompette, to the point where most people don't even bother with using it. There's really no need for two trompettes.
Thank you! And I have a guitar strap and already tried to use it, but with that one pin at the right of the rear end, the gurdy kept tilting forward. I'll try it with using the other strap pin soon, after I changed the strings. 🙂 And I heard more people complain about the upper trompette, so I won't be too bothered if it keeps shrieking. 😉😋
Geweldig leuk om je Hurdy Gurdy proces zo te volgen. Was ook al geïnteresseerd geraakt in de NerdyGurdy... en nu heb ik een goed beeld van de beschikbare tijd die er minimaal in gaat zitten.
Wens dat het volgen van de Gurdy workshop je veel nieuwe inzichten zal geven en je eigen Hurdy Gurdy daar ter plaatsen helemaal in top conditie kan worden ingesteld.
Leuk om je nwe video's te blijven volgen.
Gezonde muzikale groet vanuit Finland.

1:53 I saw you rubbing some rosin on the wheel. I think I heard a person saying you use a liquid rosin, which would be easier to apply.
I'm glad you finished it. It looks great! I look forward to more videos of you learning to play it.
Thanks! (I'm glad too it's done, haha! Although, when you have a hurdy gurdy, you're never really done, they say. 😅😋)
First of all, my respect you built it till the end, I considered to build one, but didn‘t even start :)
I think you need a strap on it to hold it in a safe position and I recommend you putting a cover over the tangent-case, so you can rest your thumb and put the needed power and concentration on pressing the keys … anyways, just curious what sound you might get out of your build once used to it. Respect!
Fantastic!!!! Well done, pretty lady!
😊
That does not look easy but I am sure you will prevail with those clever hands of yours.
It's not easy indeed, it takes a lot of tinkering. It's a good thing I like that. ;-)
Wat een indrukwekkend instrument! Nog nooit zoiets gezien! Super cool die aandrijving en al die keys!🙂
Zeker wel een gaaf dingetje! 😎
I tend to comment on youtube in English but.. ik ging stuk om "wat een kút geluid", die zag ik dan weer niet aankomen 😂. Seems like a tricky learning curve on a perfectly set-up premade instrument, definitely trickier when building it all yourself! Props to you! Hope you get it figured out to a point you're happy with (and for us to inevitably enjoy seeing you play!) 👍
Haha! Ik flapte het er ook zo uit en dacht achteraf: ach, ik monteer het er gewoon in, want zo klonk het ook. 🤣 Ik ben nu betere snaren aan het installeren en dan zullen we zien hoe ie klinkt. 😊✨
What a cool project! And I'm sure you'll become a very skilled player.
Thanks! And I'll do my best. 😋
😎 Helpful and informative. Thanks!
🙂
Hi Marijke - Great job! 👏 It's an amazing instrument! When you played it at one point, the Nerdy Gurdy sounded like several bagpipers playing in unison on a parade field. 06:07 I'm sure once you have it set up properly, “it will no doubt sound [more than] decent," and like a procession of proud bagpipers - reminiscent of the Great Highland bagpipes native to Scotland. 👍😊
Thank you! 😊🧡 It indeed sounds a bit bagpipe like. I like a violin-like sound better, but this sounds fun for a change!
@@MarijkeViolin :):)
Did you go to the workshop and learn some gurdy skills? I hope you make a video!
That clamp job though
Dag Marijke, op 8 oktober volg ik ook een workshop voor beginners. Net als jij bouwde ik een hurdy gurdy en wil nu wel weten of ik erop kan spelen. Alvast veel plezier op het oefen instrument.
Wat leuk! Ik heb 'm nu redelijk speelbaar, maar hij kan zo weer kuren krijgen. Tot zaterdag! 😊✨
That intro music sounds very familiar. Are you by chance a fan of Annie?
❤️😍
🤗✨
I really impressed ❤ from this beautiful traditional instrument but if I need this instrument.then where do I find this instrument? How could I get this ? From where could do I get this? ..in our we don't find you don't get this...
❤love from india.
Where could I find this traditional instrument instrument.? From where ? Do you known? Whats the price range of Hurdy gurdy ? How could get this instrument? We don't get in our country
That's so cool, and weirdly sounds good, even for a dying cat 😹 how can I get the kit?
I bought it at www.nerdygurdy.nl
That G sharp was literally sharp 🤣
Mi puoi dare le misure della tastiera e il diapason?
Just my personal opinion, but temporarily leaving one side partly unglued as you did makes fitting and adjusting the wheel much easier.
It indeed was! Although I had to access the inside again afterwards to add another strap button. Would have been much easier with the side open. 😂
ton point g était vraiment pas mal
You are sailing under false flagg ! In the background is the sound of a first class H-G but the sound from the kit is like wheeling a cats tail and the then given result !
i think ya just built it wrong lmao
