I'm currently building a symphony gurdy while I wait on my Orca I order 
from hurdygurdy.com . I have Destrem and Heidemans  book which says to hold a 
sharp chisel in your left hand while turning the wheel, but it's very hard to 
do this without the chisel moving. The wheel is only a hair off but I don't 
want to mess it up when I true it up...  Does anyone have info on how this is 
done or another way to true the wheel.  It's off so very little that you cannot 
see it with your eye but when the wheel passes over the string you can feel a 
very slight loosening of the tension...   Thanks, Seth     I'll put some pics 
in photobucket to show what I'm making, lots of fun...
