An Organistrum for Santiago Zachary Taylor , author, composer and maker of medieval instruments, is currently constructing an organistrum - forerunner of the hurdy-gurdy. In August he will join a group of players who, in full medieval costume, will re-create the 24-strong orchestra depicted in the 800-year-old archway of the Portico de la Gloria in Santiago, Spain. The instruments should not only look but also sound as much as possible like their originals.
