- With apologies to Jaap Brand, this is his Nerdy Gurdy with some extensive modifications, I don't know if it is better but it is certainly different.
Note to Folk Police: If they had electricity, computers and amplification in the 15th Century, this is how they would have done a a gurdy!

Don't apologize, I love it! I've said it before: why make it more Gurdy if you can make it more Nerdy!
Thanks for a brilliant design, Jaap and I would like to emphasize that it does not need changing, I only did it because of the lockdown, because I could and because I am a nerd who loves tinkering with things!
I apologize for not paying more attention to this project at the time. I never saw the video to show that it actually works. VERY nice work, Chris.
I've seen some wonderful lockdown projects but this one takes the crown. Absolutely a cracking good effort, well done.
Thanks! Always good to hear from a Kiwi!
a cranking good effort!
I love this project, I may will printed thanks for shared
perhaps I would add some woody plates to improve resonance. it is not everything that plastic can do. But great work!
Now you just need to automate the keys 😉
Hehe, just hold my beer!
This is amazing.
I do think you might get slightly better results (not worth a complete rebuild, but maybe worth looking into for future builds) using a servo motor instead of a stepper motor. It'll be less noisy and have better power consumption (good for when on battery), and be slightly more even for speed.
But that's nitpicking. Because this is an amazing project!
Hadn't thought of using a servo motor, could be good! I did think of using a brushless of the sort used by model planes but it probably needed too much gearing, would have taken less space though.
i'm going to try the wheel as a replacement for the one in the north american kit with a maple veneer, wish me luck! Printing right now...
If you are going to veneer it you might need a slightly smaller wheel. It works fine without veneer. I can send youthe stl for a smaller wheel to allow for the veneer if you want it. Let me know and if you want it give me the thickness of your veneer.
you're an amazing craftsman Chris!! Do you mind if I share this on twitter?
I would love to buy something like this if you sell them?
By all means share. I do not make them for sale but there are loads of kits out there, just do a search on "Nerdy Gurdy"
