This page contains the individual parts that can be used for your existing instrument as well as for the hurdy-gurdy you plan to build. Below you will find:
- electromagnetic pickups,
- movable nuts,
-"dogs",
- string lifters,
-string-off hooks,
-tangents, and more.
All necessary fasteners are included as well as instructions if needed.
All parts may be return with full payment reimbursement.
No need to provide a reason to return, but the explanations may help me to improve the parts.
If some sizes of 3D printed parts are not fit your needs, please provide me with your preferred dimensions, - it is possible to produce the parts you need.
Feel free to communicate with me by sending emails to anatolyzayaruzny@gmail.com.
MP-17
MAGNETIC PICK-UP
$20 /ea
MPD-00
Magnetic powder set
$3
Electro magnetic pick-up for amplifying the strings sound of the hurdy-gurdy, or other stringed instruments.
For installation use bracket (included).
MP-17 can be used for metal strings or gut, silk or synthetic strings. For gut, silk or synthetic string use magnetic powder set MPD-00 containing the magnetic powder and glue, and follow the instructions provided with it. One set is enough for all pick-ups for your instrument.
Can be connected directly to the amplifier input (no need preamplifier).
Specifications of MP-17:
Size: 17x17x18(H) mm
Resistance: 370 ohm (approximately)
MP-17C
MAGNETIC PICKUP w/CIRCUIT
$28
Electromagnetic pickup with circuit and extra parts for possibility to amplify a group of string with individually volume regulating of each one.
Includes: pick-up MP-17 with bracket, variable resistor, constant resistor, and 1/4" inlet.
All parts are prewired and ready to be installed.
It is possible to use just for a single string with it's volume regulation.
If you need to amplify say 6 strings, buy 6 sets of MP-17C and connect them parallel using only a single 1/4" inlet (see circuit scheme at right).
MN-00
Movable Nut
$2 /set of (4)
Nuts for chanters made by 3D printing.
Size: 20x14x 11.5 (H) mm.
DS
"Dogs" and Supports
$8 /set of 6 parts
Set of "dogs" made precisely by 3D printing consists of two small "dogs", two large "dogs", and two "dog" supports ( total of 6 parts). Dog support fits to both smaller and larger dogs.
Overall size of a smaller dog: 25.5 (L) x 8 (H) x 6 (W) mm.
Overall size of a larger dog: 30 (L) x 11.5 (H) x 6 (W) mm.
SL-2 String Lift for two strings
$6/ea.
SL-2 may be installed at the wheel side of the tangent box. With SL-2 it is easy and safety for the string to raise and lower chanters over the wheel. May be used for the pair of melody strings with 18 to 30 mm distance between them.
SO "String-off" Hook
$4/set of (8)
This polymer hook is safe for the string. You may use one or both holes to install it close to any string of the hurdy-gurdy. Sell in a set of six.
Heading 5
H-44
Handle
$20
The handle is printed by 3D technology. It has two ball bearings with no axle backlash and noise while turning.
Available in Black, Bronze or Gold (please specify).
You may install it to the CC-90 Crank Console and secure with either regular nut or butterfly thumb nut (both are included).
CC-90
Crank Console
$20/ea
CC-90 is made by laser cutting from 4.5 mm steel and finished by powder coating (black and gold finishing is available).
The shape is generated by professional industrial designer, and allows to choose the most convenient lever length (turning radius) for performing: from 60 to 90 mm with a step of 5 mm.
The axle hole is 4.7 mm, no thread; the handle holes are 5.7 mm.
SS-00
Silk Strings
$6 /ea
$20 /trial set of 4
Silk strings are made in the workshop of Anatoly ZAYA-RUZO from 100% natural silk filament, natural glue, and natural resin lacquer. Silk strings are 50% stronger than gut strings. The sound is brighter. They are less stretched than gut and became stable within couple days after being installed to the instrument.
The available diameters are 0.7 mm, 0.8mm, 0.85 mm, 0.9 mm, 0.95mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, and 1.2 mm. (Ask for larger diameters, with a little higher prices). The diameter tolerance is +- 0.03 mm. The length of the strings is 800 mm .
These strings may be used for chanters, trumpette and fly strings, as well as for bourdons (of larger diameters).
Trial set includes 4 strings by your choice of any diameters up to 1.2 mm.
TT-12 Taped Tangents
$10/set of 12 plus 1 Key.
Traditional taped flag-shaped tangent. Made of polymer with stainless steel pin implanted into the leg.
The tape is 1:50 (every 50 mm of the length the diameter changes by 1 mm) allows using a regular cylinder hole in the wooden key to insert the flag easily and reliable without extra tension.
Installation/tuning key and one extra spare tangent are included.
WS -10 Wheel Shaper
$18
3D printed Wheel Shaper allows to remove ovality of the wheel installed to your instrument. Five extra sharp bi-metal blades pack is included.
Tangent Box Hinge
$ 4 /pair
3D printed hinges are small and strong. These solve the problem of finding or making tiny but reliable hinges for the lid of the tangent box. Sell in set of two.
