Sounds like a pretty dull project, Roy. For something more challenging, go here: http://as220.org/~stevenjobe/
Then click on "Music for Three Hurdy Gurdies" and watch video #2, with Daniel Thonon. Now THERE'S a project... judith -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roy Trotter Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2006 1:50 AM To: hg@hurdygurdy.com Subject: [HG] Which way shall I turn? I have decided that I need to build a lute-back, for several reasons, but mostly because I can strut around and say I did. I can't decide whether I should buy a set of plans or generate my own. I really like the size/ shape of that Siorat (aka" Princess Leia") and I have a pretty good idea of what goes on inside, so I'm tempted to make a copy of it. The biggest problem I can foresee from here is that I would like to redesign the pegbox, but I may be able to put that off until I can get a clear visualization of what I have in mind. Anybody got any opinions either way? Thanks, Roy
