Build to the beat: Celebrate World Music Day with Ugears
What is World Music Day?
World Music Day, or Fête de la Musique, is a global celebration of music, creativity, and community, held annually on June 21. It’s a day when musicians of all skill levels—from street performers to professional artists—share their passion and talent with the world through free performances in public spaces. The idea is simple: music is for everyone, everywhere.
Though World Music Day may have passed this year, the spirit of music and creativity is something we can embrace year-round—and what better way to keep the music going than through the joy of building something beautiful and melodic?
Why Ugears models are perfect for World Music Day (and every day!)
At Ugears, we see music as an experience that you can craft, shape, and bring to life with your own hands. Our musical models bring together the beauty of mechanical engineering and the harmony of music, allowing you to create your own functional wooden instruments right at home.
Featured model: Ugears Hurdy-Gurdy
One standout is the Ugears Hurdy-Gurdy, a fully functional mechanical instrument that allows you to experience music in a unique way. This model features over 290 laser-cut wooden pieces and a carefully designed gear mechanism that mimics the traditional hurdy-gurdy—a medieval string instrument.
Many builders have praised this model for its details and interactive nature. It’s often described as “a great conversation starter” and a “beautiful hand piece” that combines engineering and musical history.
Check out the Ugears Hurdy-Gurdy in action on YouTube, where enthusiasts share their experience of turning this model into a working instrument.
