I've been following along with this thread with some interest. At every single show we do (except the renaissance faire down in AZ- but that's another story all together!!) I do a "work shop" at either the break between sets or after the show. I talk to anyone who's interested regardless of age. I have had both children and adults try to touch the wheel but only two adults actually made contact with it- both of them greased it up very badly, one with hand lotion, the other with actual chicken fat. :( Luckily, sandpaper took it all off and it was okay again. Regardless, it's a lot of fun to talk about the gurdy, the music, how hard/easy it is to play, etc. Just share your love of the instrument and the music you play and you will have a great time. It's one of my favorite parts of performing.

And I used to be so shy...

Namaste.
Felicia.
