Thanks Simon. On the drehleierwiki the text is telling that there is no text ;-)
http://drehleierwiki.a.wiki-site.com/index.php/Kategorie:Instrumentenbau I had found the beginners guide before. It was most helpful, thanks! I also received great help from Pieter Lauwers. He informed me really well about different aspects I stood in front and helped me greatly to make up my mind. Eventually I mailed Balázs Nagy (as suggested by Melissa) and received a price a couple of days ago. I asked him some additional questions and hope that finds time to build me one. Now I wish above all a tekero that is built by him. Hope all works out!
