Every once in a while you can find good instruments for sale here or on ebay... But talk to people here before, because most of the stuff around is pretty much just nice on the eyes, but useless as a musical instrument.
Subscribe also to the UK hurdy-gurdy mailing list, they can help also... There are some builders abroad that you could consider, who might have something to sell in less time. Neil Brook and Wolfgang Weichselbaumer come to mind. Maybe a assembled kit by Hurdygurdycrafters there in the US is a good place to start, they are supposedly much, much better than many of the stuff you may come across for the same price range. The Leveretts at Altarwind are members here also, although their HGs have elicited some controversy here. I don't know their instruments personally, so I don't have an opinion.
