The hurdy gurdy is a expensive instrument that needs constant care..maintenance ...how did poor people afford this expensive instrument..?.and how did they manage to keep it in proper care.....set up etc...?

[@Overcrook65]

It all depends on how you define poor people. If you measure them by the availability of hurdy-gurdies, many people today are poorer than a beggar in the Middle Ages. It's a different story if you use loaves of bread as a yardstick. Today, thanks to industrialisation, poor people walk around with irreparable mobile phones.

@@Overcrook65 but I'm talking about the poor then ,not now ,I'm not talking about making modern comparisons ,it's a very relevant historical question that needs answering, within the histoficsl context.. ?

​@@lightningspirit2166 You're absolutely right, it's an interesting question. It seems quite logical to assume that hurdy-gurdies were far more common and popular in the past than they are today. Several factors could account for this. In those days, a higher percentage of people likely possessed practical, manual skills, as almost every farmer needed to work with wood in some capacity. Especially during the long winter months, some might have had both the time and the inclination to craft musical instruments like the hurdy-gurdy. Naturally, not all of these instruments would have been of high quality. Beggars, in particular, may have used lower-grade, improvised, or poorly maintained instruments. These might have been passed down through generations, and not every beggar would have been born into poverty. It's even possible that several beggars shared a single instrument. It would indeed be fascinating to find historical sources on this topic.

Selber bauen! Mache ich seit 1971 - dann kann man auch reparieren und pflegen. Alte Abbildungen gibts seit dem 9. Jhdt.
