Even if physics wasn’t your favorite subject, the Ugears 3D puzzle will captivate you. Designed to enhance motor skills and imagination, these detailed wooden models from the Ukrainian brand Ugears are not only entertaining but educational. When properly maintained, these models are fully operational and movable, providing a hands-on way to explore mechanical principles.

The hurdy-gurdy is a stringed musical instrument played by turning a wooden wheel with a crank in the right hand, causing the strings to vibrate. Like the bow on a violin, the wheel creates sound by friction. A series of keys operated by the left hand shortens the strings to produce different notes.

Each 3D puzzle from Ugears comes with a detailed pictorial manual. Note: To ensure smooth functioning and minimal friction, grease the specified parts (especially axles) with wax from a regular candle as indicated in the instructions.

Recommended for builders aged 14 and up.
