  The hurdy gurdy is certainly an ancient instrument. I have become enamored of this kit maker.

  First of all, what’s “ancient”? As in “Ancient Greece”? Assuming you meant “historical” instead:

  People do. Not companies. Why do you think a Stradivari violin is called that? Because Stradivari built it. So if you want an instrument like that, it stands to reason that you use the same process.

  I just learned from another comment that these people are called luthiers. Some still exist.

  Zildjian is such a an old company still making the same thing. I don’t think cymbals changed much. People sell lutes on Etsy, those are an old style stringed instrument and flutes are so old too.
