Hi Diana - not sure what you consider a reasonable distance, but I live between Cambridge and Newmarket which I reckon would take about an hour going on M25 and then straight up M11.
So, I'd be happy to help you out - I can give the gurdy a once over, show you some tuning/set up stuff, but also give you some lessons! Cheers and welcome to gurdy world..................

I have always loved the sound and the look of the instrument, and am really excited to have finally become the owner of a hurdy-gurdy! However, I am a novice at playing the instrument, and would really like some advice about where to find someone who could teach me how to play. I do play the piano and organ, and also sing, so I have a long musical background, but feel I need specialist teaching to start me off on the hurdy-gurdy. I would also appreciate some advice on the state of the instrument I have bought, and whether it needs any work done on it. I also would appreciate guidance on tuning, as I have never had to tune an instrument before! I would really appreciate any advice and information re the above - I live in SE London, so any teachers would have to be in reasonable distance of here. Look forward to hearing back from anyone. With thanks. Diana (Stevenson) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find out how to make Messenger your very own TV! Try it Now!
