Hello everybody ! After a month and a half where I didn’t had a minute for myself, I can now continue the project! I started to work on the hurdy-gurdy keyboard! I ordered two guide cut by laser. Here is one with also one of the sides of the keyboard : I tapped the guides and the sides of the keyboard together with double-side tape : I drilled holes using the guide: After that I took some small rasps and files in order to make rectangular holes from the ones I drilled.
