I am also looking to purchase my first hurdy gurdy. Researching on and off for about a year and have found only (3) currently making instruments in the US...about the same as the 1st post located. The wiki list appears to be a bit out of date.
http://www.hurdygurdycrafters.com http://www.hurdygurdy.com http://altarwind.com The list of what to look for was useful if there is an expert about. I live North East Florida which does not appear to have instructors or even folks that play (if there are please email!). Also, can't imagine I am alone on not "upgrading" after a few years of experience so there is a need to strike a balance of desire and budget. I understand it is a small world...but an honest review would be nice and they are hard to find. If not comfortable posting to the list, please email off list.
