This beautiful, compact, portable wheel features a wide, steady base for the double treadle operation and the wheel, which is larger than many upright wheels. The wheel is easy to mount on the two support posts. The third post accommodates an optional distaff.
One of our most popular castle-type wheels. Larger than the Kromski Mazurka, the Minstrel has stronger, bolder lines and a larger base to accommodate the larger wheel diameter and the double treadles. It is a double drive wheel but comes standard with Scotch tension set-up for those that prefer the single drive feel
The Minstrel is made of European alder and birch and with its antique look makes the perfect wheel for re-enactors.
