Fully Custom
The first Fully Custom instrument was built in 2021 especially for Michalina Malisz-Martuś as an ideal hurdy-gurdy for studio recording, with a deep, bass-rich sound on its lowest strings, somewhat reminiscent of a cello. This prototype was built by Piotr Martuś with help from Piotr Aleksander Nowak, who made the special carbon-fibre bracing.
Over time, the project evolved into our current offer to build a hurdy-gurdy almost entirely to the customer's individual specifications. We allow customisation of virtually every aspect, including the shape of the body, while the original “Michalina Studio 2021” shape is just one of the available options.
