Subject: Looking for instrument - Re: [HG] Re:
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.
Full of opinions,
Alden
