Hi Alison, I used to have a Bosch (which I miss dearly)and that was played in both D and G. It worked, but I got fed up with maintaining the 'D' tuning-especially the higher chantrelle- and have played in G ever since. I cannot remember which strings I used now, but I'm sure someone else will know.

I tried to find the info on the archives, but had a tough time wading through it all. I was wondering if anyone had reviews/ recommendations about instruments. I am going to be up-grading and am debating between a Gotschy or Kerbouef instrument, French lute-back model. I will consider others as well, but those are some that at least I have heard/tried out and know are very reputable makers. Also, I play in D-tuning, I am thinking about changing my strings on my old gurdy to G-tuning when I acquire the new baby. Has anyone tried that with any success? I look forward to any comments, it will be fun to reconnect with the world of hurdy-gurdy players Thanks, Alison -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
