Title: Re: [HG] Hackmans?

Hi Jaqueline    I would start by hoping it would play itself out in a few tunes if it weren't too serious. Failing that you could try retouching the area that is slipping with rosin locally - this will take some playing to even out the inevitable glitch,  but if these 'hope for the best' measures don't work you'll have to wipe the wheel with a cloth slightly more than damp with alchohol, and let it dry for ages - like hours.    I find its men who touch wheels when I'm busking. They will start by prodding the wheel, then announce ot their bored children that this is a Cistern, powered these days by compressed air in a bottle in the box. This is the real reason that firearms are forbidden in public places.     Chris. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jacqueline Burrell To: hg@hurdygurdy.com Sent: Saturday, June 03, 2006 7:38 AM Subject: RE: [HG] Cleaning your wheel Hi everyone,   What’s the best way to clean up a gurdy wheel? By this I mean one which has been touched by dirty hands, not an over rosined one.   Many thanks   Jacqueline   From: owner-hg@hurdygurdy.com [mailto:owner-hg@hurdygurdy.com] On Behalf Of Christina Wright Sent: 02 June 2006 21:23 To: hg@hurdygurdy.com Subject: Re: [HG] Hackmans?   Dear Jocelyn,     Alden and Cali Hackman are well and working hard in Indianola.  I spent time with them this weekend at Folklife and we played up a storm.       If you have their phone number, give them a call.  If not, contact me off list and I’ll help.
