Neither my dogs nor cats react to hurdy gurdy or hammered dulcimer. Both dogs
were initially interested in the didgeridoo (trying to look up the end to see
where the howling dingo was), but eventually lost interest. However, our
Bearded Collie howls (sometimes quite enthusiastically) when I play my
concertina - it's very embarrassing.

and dogs and cats will run from it
Is this a common occurrence when playing the HG?
I ask in all seriousness, because I am quite interested in getting an
HG, but if it scares the cats, it won't be welcome in the house.
The wife has a steel drum she doesn't play because the cats are
literally terrified of it. Play a CD, no problem, but the actual
instrument apparently has overtones in the ultrasonic range (above
human hearing) they really upsets the little furries. Just tap one
spot, and they run and cower...they never got used to it.
