Hi Dunyah, I don't live in the States, I live in the UK, and I play Hungarian hurdy gurdy (tekero). They are more or less similar to liras and there are a few players in the US too. But I am sure sooner or later you will find Ukrainians too. And don't forget to check out Andrey Vinogradov's site: > http://www.myspace.com/avinogradovhurdygurdy
