Also in England(Wales), Chris Allen is worth contacting http://www.hurdygurdy.org He cares for my baroque HGs and does a great job Graham Whyte On 08/09/2010 19:03, Augusto de Ornellas Abreu wrote: Do check out makers in England as well. Neil Brook is particularly good (I'm in love with his string selection stoppers/buttons, and I don't really have one of his HGs - I do intend to get one in the future, though) His Wren model is compact (good for travelling) and has a pretty good price as well... http://www.hurdy-gurdy.org.uk/ Augusto Brazil On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 11:02 AM, Greenlynn <greenlynn32...@gmail.com> wrote: I am also looking to purchase my first hurdy gurdy.

The wiki list appears to be a bit out of date.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.
