The document discusses the hurdy gurdy, a medieval string instrument shaped like a violin that is played by turning a crank which rubs against the strings, producing sound. It originated in Western Europe in the 9th century and was used in medieval church music. The hurdy gurdy comes from the keyboard family of instruments and is particularly associated with the region of Galicia, where it is also known as the zanfona.
