This is a renaissance hurdy gurdy based on instruments in paintings by Hieronymus Bosch

His most well known depiction of a hurdy gurdy is in his ‘Garden of earlthy delights’ in which a good amount of detail can be seen.

A lesser known depiction is from ‘The temptation of St. Anthony’ where a man with a wooden leg has an instrument slung over his shoulder.

The instrument above has English walnut back, ribs and fittings with boxwood pegs and sharp keys.
