12th century organistrum made by Aleyn Wykington based on existent iconography. This was a wonderful challenge to make and is not finished yet as there are changes I will be making to test why different organistrums had different configurations. The organistrum is the gigantic ancestor of the modern hurdy-gurdy. It plays by a rosined wheel rubbing the strings as it turns. The tune is Orientis Partibus.
