Not sure how far a hike it is to get to the Boston area, Sasha, but if it's
not too far, give me a holler. I've had luck in the past with "initiating"
beginners into the mysteries of cotton and rosin...

Subject: [HG] new hurdy gurdy player / players nearby?
Hi All,
I'm a composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who has recently fallen
for the hurdy gurdy.
I'm in central Connecticut, USA and I was wondering if anyone knew of any
hurdy gurdy players in my state, Connecticut, or in Massachusetts, New
York or Vermont that I could take a few lessons from.
I recently acquired a hurdy gurdy from Helmut Gotschy and it sounded great
and I was doing fine with it, until I tried recottoning.
I have the Muskett & Destrem books and a bunch of other website info but
still having problems with getting the cotton right and sounding as good
as it did before I attempted this. I think I need to see someone do it.
Please help.
Thanks so much,
Sasha Bogdanowitsch
