Free downloadable Henri 3 Renaissance Hurdy gurdy plans can now be found at:
I have also put together a construction booklet for free download. This will be updated as I find more photos of my build." I'm sure I put them somewhere"
I hope this of some help to prospective gurdy builders.
Cheers

Here are [my] drawings for "the Henri 3 Renaissance Hurdy Gurdy". I have modelled it on an existing instrument from Paris circa 1750. The main deviation from the original is that it can play a chromatic 2 octaves, has adjustable bridges and string lifting mechanisms. I have also changed the internal frame to use smaller wood stock. The original has solid end blocks that needed large wood stock to cut them from. There are 10 x A1 size (841mm x 594mm) sheets to this plan. I have written up the making of the Henri 3 Renaissance hurdy gurdy in a pdf booklet. This booklet combined with my plans "blueprints" will allow the construction of a period looking, modern playing hurdy gurdy."
