Introduction To Balfolk Boombox ‘Synthy Gurdy’
Hurdy gurdist Rory Scammell shared this intro to the Balfolk Boombox, a custom hurdy gurdy synthesizer that he created in collaboration with Sam Palmer.
The hurdy gurdy is a traditional string instrument that produces sound using a crank, which rubs a rosined wheel against the strings.

Scammell & Palmer’s version features a variety of Eurorack modules, allowing the instrument to play percussion, bass, leads and more.
Here’s a performance video of the Balforlk Boombox in action:
