Hello Perenbendya, I am sorry that I can not give any help to your request, but I have a question for you: You write: *Factual evidence exists in the form of early photos/picture postcards not to mention cylindrical recordings.*
Are these recordings made available in some way? I am interested in these recordings: a friend of mine is a singer in a Dutch choir specializing in traditional Ukrainian music (especially religious songs) and we want to work together (with me on hurdy gurdy). I know the Lemko-Ukrainian songbook, music of that choir, a few recordings of hurdy gurdy playing and singing on Youtube, but would like very much to hear historic recordings of Ukrainian hurdy gurdy players-singers.
