Hey Gang; I just signed up for the list. I am a music pro (piano/conductor/didgeridoo) and am exploring the idea of learning to play the hurdygurdy. I have seen the instruments played, and understand the basic mechanics of how they work, but have never played one myself.
As far as I can tell, there are few to no players in Las Vegas (go figure), so I am left to my own devices on this one. I am looking for recommendations on crafters and/or finding a quality used instrument. I've done the Google search, and seen many websites, but I believe that personal experience trumps web design when it comes to choosing musical instruments. >From what I've heard, I tend to like instruments with a fuller - darker sound. Sympathetic strings are a definite yes. Any suggestions? Peace Jay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
