Yepper, the scratch noise is hard to get rid of in such a crude instrument, going to make another tomorrow with a five or six inch wheel and maybe different strings .
This one has steel strings may go to plastic and wood pins for the key thingy`s , who knows play it by ear right.

Those fancy ones are nice but very spendy and ya have to know who to play it which i don`t.
I think i`m going to build another today and try plastic string instead of steel wire which all i have is weed trimmer line.
Also may put those side strings on it too.

Look up Patty Gurdy on YouTube, she plays a mean Hurdy Gurdy and not at all bad looking.
She even had a custom built 18 string Hurdy Gurdy made just for her.
10mm, when you care enough to send the very best.

Thanks Blaine, was hoping someone would say something about the Stroh violin.
The resonator is made from a phonograph reproducer, a wire and wire connects too the bridge.
Gotta find someone that can play a tune on it.

Where did all the string instrument guys go, the cigar box players i`d thought they`ed be all over this thing.
Still waiting on the strings for the Hurdy Gurdy and started another Stroh violin today, made a horn and have the body done waiting a reproducer and strings.

I think if it were strung and tuned like a violin it would sound fine. Wish my dad were still alive, he'd be able to get some music out of it being he was a fiddle player. I see the fiddle players in Branson playing fiddles that are similar only with pickups for the amplifier where your horn is.

Thanks Grizz, Grand kid knocked a can of coke over on my key board so trying to fix that.
Video, i used to be able to play Silent night on the harmonica but no more so all you`d hear is noise.
