Hello Daniel, Before you make a choice, please look at Jaap Mulder's website at www.jaap-mulder.nl. He makes an outstanding H.G. and his prices are not too high. You can also listen to a sample of his H.G. being played.

--- Begin Message ---I am about to purchase my first Hurdy Gurdy and am considering my options. I want a good quality instrument and I am willing to pay a reasonable price for it but don't want to spend a fortune if I can avoid it. I have purused the various sites online (Olympic, Chris Eaton, etc.) and then ran accross George Leverett (Altarwind Music, aroundthehearth.com). I have exchanged a few emails with him and find him to be very quick to respond, pleasant, and helpful. His instruments are also significantly less expensive than most of the others ($1300) and there is not a long wait.I am a neophite and, lacking a chance to compare instruments "in person" I'm basically at the mercy of strangers.Has anyone here seen and played one of Mr. Leverett's instruments?Any thoughts on these intruments and/or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thank you,Daniel
