Hello,
sorry to say it, but 2k - 25k is a normal price for a hurdy-gurdy.
Stop comparing it with idustrial made guitars and start comparing it
to other handcrafted instruments (violins, cellos, da gambas...) and
you will see its rather cheap (count all the parts that need to be
made, and you will see its a bargain).
Its better to go on saving for a while than spending 1k for something
useless.
With something like 1.7k at hand you might be able to find a
reasonable second hand offer.
Ask the hurdy-gurdy makers for second hand instruments, as they
sometimes know about instruments that a customer wants to sell when
buying a new one (and they will tell you because it helps the customer
who is giving them even more money ;-). Sometimes gurdies get offered
on this list. If you find offers at places like ebay, be cautious and
better ask the community on this list about it, even if this bears the
risk to wake up other possible buyers. The risk to buy a flowerpot in
hurdy-gurdy design via online shopping is serious.
