Not only are Neil's gurdies extremely good, his after sales service should any problems be encountered (not had any) is second to none. I recently sold one that I had of his back to the person I bought it from, as he regretted selling it in the first place.

I am a little frusterated as I have bought three gurdies. Two from makers and are unplayable and the third, used but needs work. I just want a gurdy that isn't trash and sounds nice. I am tired of being taken for a ride. So this is a good gurdy? I like the sound but then I liked the sound of two I bought from websites. -- Sent from my Palm Pre Jon wrote: Neil was in Los Angeles visiting family, and he brought with this G/C Wren with him. I paid $2,200.00 USD, and he shipped it to me from Los Angeles to the San Francisco area. Included were a 2nd trompette and a capo, which will be options above the base price. Neil tells me he "will be putting a more structured price list on the site in due course".
