Hi Matthew, I've been lurking on the list for several years, but never had occasion to post before. I live in Chandler, so probably not far from you.
I love the HG along with many other instruments, but don't do much with mine. I built it from a Hughes Dulcimer kit. It's in a playable, but not complete state. I'd be embarrassed to show it to anyone on this list, but I'm happy with it as a first attempt. I made some changes to it, along with many mistakes, but I feel that I learned enough about HGs that I could build a second one from scratch that would be much better than this one. There is another fellow, Stefan, who also plays a self-built Hughes Dulcimer HG in the local band Bartholomew Faire. I'm sure there must be more players in the Phoenix area, but he's the only other one I know about.

Hello, well are there any players in the Phoenix area, or will I be the only one in town? I thought for sure that my friend Joe Bethancourt would have an hg, since he's into stringed instruments of all kinds, plus the renaissance reenactments, but it turns out he's wanted one for years. I could be wrong, and there could be an hg club here in Phoenix, just like we have the autoharp club in town. Anyway, just thought I'd check. Thanks a lot. Matthew
