hi again all - a follow-up question about this instrument - can anyone answer? (off list is fine)
how much is this instrument worth, assuming it's in great shape like the seller says? (i can't find new prices for the Seidler instruments as a reference.) thanks again! Kevin. p.s. lest anyone think it strange that i'm contemplating a fully-electric 'gurdy as my first instrument, let me explain that i'm a non-traditional player who (at the moment) only plays electric instruments (bass guitars, warr guitar) in fairly loud contexts.... 8^] don't worry, though, i'll probably end up with an acoustic someday if i really take to the 'gurdy (as i suspect).

Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 13:23:57 -0700 hello fellow gurdyists! first i'd like to give a big THANKS to everyone who helped make the Over the Water Festival possible and to all my fellow attendees. it was my first experience playing hurdy-gurdy, and i had a great time learning and meeting all of my new friends. sadly, i returned yesterday to a gurdy-less home. one possible solution is this that i found on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Electric-Hurdy-Gurdy-Drehleier-Vielle-a-Roue-Zanfona_W0QQitemZ280268812254QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280268812254&_trkparms=72%3A570|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 does anyone here have personal experience with Seidler's electric hurdy-gurdies? does anyone care to comment on this instrument, or the seller (if you can figure out who he/she is)? on or off list is fine by me (though if you have specific negative comments i suppose that should be off list!). for the record, this instrument could also solve a potential problem that i have: my wife is very dubious of hurdy-gurdies and professes to hate their sound. a fully electric model might be just the thing, at least for practice, until i can bring her around! cheers, Kevin Millard Seattle, Washington USA See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go.
