- Local TV-station visits instrument maker Sebastian Hilsmann in his workshop in order to let him demonstrate how a hurdy-gurdy works:

Hurdy-Gurdy, Organistrum, Sinfonia - In ihrer über 1000-jährigen Geschichte hat sich die Drehleier unter verschiedensten Begriffen seit dem Mittelalter als besonders vielfältiges Instrument erwiesen, das mit seinem einzigartigen Klang Adel und Klerus in Europa ebenso zu begeistern wusste, wie das einfache Bauernvolk. *

Sebastian Hilsmann aus dem südbadischen Kirchzarten bei Freiburg ist einer der letzten Instrumentenbauer in Deutschland, die das alte Handwerk der Drehleier-Fertigung beherrschen. In seiner Werkstatt entstehen pro Monat in präziser Handarbeit gut ein bis zwei Unikate. Unser freier Redakteur Fabian Weller hat den 35-Jährigen besucht und sich dabei auch die Besonderheiten des komplexen Instruments erklären lassen.

Welcome

Welcome to my hurdy-gurdy workshop, where we craft top-quality instruments from the finest materials. In addition to producing our own instruments, we repair and restore antique hurdy gurdies and hurdy gurdies from other luthiers.

I am also happy to advise customers interested in a historical replica of an instrument or a custom design. I will draw up an individual offer based on your specifications.

Please feel free to pay a visit to my hurdy-gurdy workshop near to Freiburg, Germany, or to come and see me at one of the exhibitions I regularly attend. With prior notice, I am always glad to take the time for an in-depth consultation.
