If you don' t have previous musical experience, it can be quite a challenge, but I would still stay that guitar is way harder to get started with. Overall I like the hurdy gurdy very much and recommend it to anyone who is looking to broaden the horizon of their musical adventure.

Initially I thought that it would be difficult to find the keys since you can' t see them while playing. After I learned to hold it properly, playing started to become much easier and there was no longer any extra tension in my arms while playing.

The instrument wobbles around, flows out of place, and so on. At first it felt really awkward to hold the hurdy gurdy in place while playing. It took something like a month of daily practice to get the feel of the instrument and to be able to play something that makes sense.
