    5 Stars
    Lots of fun
    If you’re patient and take your time it’s pretty straight forward.. but for sure you’ll need to use the wax it comes with and be firm but gentle lol. I had some wood glue nearby so I fixed minor cracks. Didn’t happen often but only because I was being pretty careful.I used acrylic paint pens to color mine. It was enjoyable

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well Made and Fun to put together!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2019
    This mechanical puzzle is very well made. The parts are precisely cut (I assume with a laser) and fit together snugly, as one would hope. The wood is a 3 layer plywood so, it is pretty strong. Many of the parts - especially the small ones, which potentially could easily be broken or lost (although I didn't have a problem) - came with spares. The manufacturer indicates that no glue is needed and that was true except for one of the last pieces. It was very small piece and there were quite a few of them. The last three, which included the 2 spares were just a tiny bit too small so would not fit snugly. I ended up adding a spot of clear glue and all was fine. The kit comes with 2 tools. One is a mallet that you create right off the bat. Good practice and very useful for tapping some pieces into place. The other tool is pokey kind of thing which is handy for popping some of the smaller pieces out of the wood panel. The only other tool you really might need is an Exacto knife to cut the tiny slivers of wood holding some pieces in the panel. This will help prevent damage to some of the more skinny pieces. The instructions are all picture based and easy to follow. I liked that they showed some things from different angles and they always gave you a "landmark" so you knew if you had the puzzle lined up with the photo. The only words were at the beginning to explain certain symbols used throughout the instruction book. BTW - the instruction book does include some songs to play at the end as yes, this is a working instrument!

    The hardest thing was to tie the strings into place - especially the ones requiring a square knot (located in the neck of the instrument). You need more slack in the string BEFORE it goes into the tiny holes (this will make more sense when you go to make it).

    You will need to tune the Hurdy Gurdy. The instruction book points you to the Ugears website where there are some nice videos. You will need to find an app for phone or other mobile device to use when tuning. I found that one that has some sort of gauge worked best. Mine was a free one.

    Lastly, if you are thinking you might decorate this thing (although it does have a certain charm without any added decorations), then do it before you construct it, taking into consideration how this thing will go together so as not to mess up the fit. I didn't think about is until after I was done. Silly me.

    Now, you might be wondering if this thing actually does play. YES! it does! Way cool!

    In summary, I had a grand time putting this together and plan to attempt another design in the near future. I might even make another Hurdy Gurdy!
