A hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument that produces sound by turning a crank, which moves a wheel that rubs against the strings. It has a wooden body with keys that, when pressed, change the pitch of the strings. The instrument combines elements of a violin and a mechanical organ, creating a continuous, buzzing sound. The hurdy-gurdy is used in various musical traditions, including folk and medieval music, and is known for its unique, resonant tone and rhythmic qualities.
