popularity throughout Europe, falling
into decline only at the beginning of
the last century. Even today slight

may be seen upon the streets Of the

The instrument consisted of violin-,
like frame and sounding board. provid.
ed with from three to six strings. The
music was produced by a small crank
actuated wooden wheel, whose resined
edge bore against the strings. The
two outer strings were keyed in uni
son and when the wheel was rcvolvel
gave forth a bass note which served as
a musical background. The remaining
strings We're attached to keys, by which
their tension and their tone might be
varied. This adjustment was the only
control possessed by the player.
Needless to say, the hurdy gurdy was
suited only to the most elementary of
selections. While originally much used
at fctes and celebrations, it later was
used only by itinerant street must
