Ditto to all the sentiment for builders to keep on talking here.
After all, we all have high maintenance demands from our instruments
as players, and building and maintenance are related. I'd rather have
one list and scan it with my own personal interest 'filter' than have
to look at two different lists.
Cheers to all, and hope to see many of you at Seattle Folklife. Check

Hi All,
I don't see the need for a second list either.
I will certainly never build a hurdy gurdy but reading about all
aspects have been more then helpfull to understand the instrument and
have given me an insight in how to use it, maintain it and the
trouble spots to look out for.
I only joined the group recently and as said before all discussions
about the instrument make the list so exiting and interesting!

I may be off base here, but I don't really see the need for a second
list. Information about all aspects of HG manage to be helpful -
playing, building, tuning, caring for, etc. Lots of times the line
blurs between performance and technical parts of gurdies, and I
wouldn't know where to draw the line as to what goes in what group.
I have had 0 complaints since I joined this list when posting
technical questions. In fact, even non-builders have been quite
helpful.
There are so few questions that are purely builders questions - most
of the building questions involve history, adjustment, design, things
that actually affect the rest of the group when they go to do
something to or with their gurdies.
I will probably join the builders list, but I hope it doesn't dilute
the value and quantity of knowledge on this one - after all, the
owner of this one is a designer and builder as well.

I started a Yahoo group for topics involving hurdy gurdy making. It
will help keep this stuff out of the un-interested's mail boxes..
