Yes, I'll also ask you to put something in the subject line. If you don't put a subject in the subject line, Majordomo (the list software) doesn't add the [HG] to the line, and many people don't realize that it's from the list. I didn't, and I deleted your post.
I am not impressed with Altarwind's product as shown on their website. Even if they are making all the parts in their own shop, it's still a Musicmaker's/Musikits design. While they did add a trompette, the handle is totally inadequate for playing it, and I haven't heard any evidence that it works. I'll come back to the subject of a "budget" hurdy-gurdy. I think all the HG builders on the list will agree when I say that it takes a great amount of work to build a HG, and even if the price is high, none of us truly gets paid well for our time. A low-priced instrument is always going to be one where so many corners have been cut that it's not going to sound very good if it plays at all. Don't waste your time and money on an unplayable instrument.
