Thanks Colin,
I appreciate the welcome. I joined the UK site also - so maybe I'll see you
there too!
Sadly I did not get the accompanying CD, but I will - BDay is February so I
will put it on that list!
I am toying with the idea of maybe coming over to England for the festival in
Lancaster, it seems I might be able to buy an instrument over there quicker
than wait for one to be built here in the US. Did you attend the one in 2007?
My sister lives in Dorset so I can combine a visit....
Of course, then there would be the horror of trying to travel with
it........not sure that would go over well
Cheers - Terry

Alas, I'm in the UK so that's a little far :)
Yes, they do post occasionally if they ever have one for sale and will give
good advice to any seen on Ebay etc (beware if you don't ask here) - they are
sometimes the seller or sometimes they know the instrument or the seller so can
give a good recommendation (and no axes to grind here, just good advice)..
You'll do no better than the Muskett book but did you get the CD as well?
Things make a lot more sense when you hear them rather than just read them.
If you didn't, may I suggest asking for it for a birthday present.

Subject: [HG] Hello
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself. Like Joe, I don't own a Hurdy
Gurdy yet, but I am going to order one VERY SOON - 'cos I can't stand it I have
to have one and learn it!!!
I am in love with the sound....
You guys have posted great advice here about buying them - thank you.
I especially think the point about buying the best you can afford makes
sense, they sounds like very finicky and particular instruments, no sense in
making it hard to sound good by buying cheap.
Does anyone live in Virginia or the Metro DC area? I have only met one Hurdy
Gurdy player here in Virginia, he was kind enough to let me come and see his
ORCA that he just got in April 2007, it sounds beautiful. Would love to meet
some other players too. Also - if anyone ever has a Hurdy Gurdy for sale do
they post on this website to let everyone know?
I was excited to get Doreen Muskett's book for Christmas....so I am reading
the details!
I llive in Virginia, on a farm, raise sheep and work for an insurance
company, I am also learning to play Dulcimer. Nice to meet you all -
Hope everyone on this website has a Very Happy New Year!
