hurdy-gurdies
Wheel-bowed string boxes
Hurdy-gurdies is the plural of hurdy-gurdy, a stringed instrument that produces sound through a hand-cranked wheel rubbing against the strings while the player presses keys to change pitch.
The droning, mechanical quality of its sound makes it distinctive in folk music.
The term sometimes loosely refers to barrel organs or other crank-operated instruments.
