The 'Harmonizer' Hurdy Gurdy
e are very pleased to introduce the option of a third row of keys, which you can use to play harmonies along with your main melody strings (check out the SOUNDCLIPS/VIDEO tab above for a demonstrations) . At last: True polyphony from the hurdy gurdy keybox! This instrument has two main melody strings, keyed by two rows of keys (normal so far) but then we've added a 3rd melody string, which is keyed by it's own separate fully chromatic 3rd row of keys. Like most other features on a 'gurdy, this feature can be turned on/off independently off all the others, so you have lots of options when arranging your music.
This instrument is built on our time tested 'Moncur' body shape, so it starts with a great sounding design. From there we added features not normally found - the 3rd row /harmony keys, 2 trompettes, with two low drones rounding out the sonic spectrum. Also included are a full set of 4 drone capos and sympathetic strings.
If you're looking for a beautifully crafted, full featured instrument that goes beyond the normal feature set, this is the instrument for you.
