Hurdy-Gurdy
Medieval Drone Machine
A crank-bowed drone instrument from medieval Europe (10th century onward). A rosined wheel turned by a crank bows the strings continuously while keys change the melody pitch. The constant drone plus melody combination is unique and highly sought-after for cinematic and gaming contexts. Massive renaissance in folk metal (Eluveitie) and neofolk.
