Ah, sorry about that, Alden. I didn't know what Sweet called his so I
thought the term would at least get the idea across. You have a really
excellent website. I've spent a lot of time looking through it and have
found it quite helpful.

Dear Maurice,

FWIW, the "Volksgurdy" is the name of the hurdy-gurdy model initially
developed by Michael Hubbert and now being marketed and continually
redeveloped by Olympic Musical Instruments (which is us, Cali and Alden.)
While the teardrop shape and the number of strings of the hurdy-gurdy sold
by
Nathan Sweet make it appear similar to our Volksgurdy, we'd prefer that the
name Volksgurdy not be used for Mr. Sweet's instruments.

This is the right place to start. Keep D&H by your bedside for light
