To Nick Bacon ,
As a XVII and XVIII th cent historical reenactor in
Nouvelle France ( Québec and Lake Champlain area )
May I suggest you check for documented presence of hurgy
gurdies in your area in the XVII th cent before
spending hard earned money on an instrument that could be
of the wrong time period or wrong regional style ?

I'm thinking seriously about taking up the Hurdy Gurdy. I was heavily
involved in historical reenactment (17th Century) in England for 25
years before moving to the States. Outside Plimouth Plantation and
Jamestown, both of which employ professional reenactors, there is
little scope for 17th century activity here. In any event, I'm getting
too old to carry a 16' pike or matchlock musket!
I've seen and heard Hurdy Gurdies in England, and rather like the idea
of learning how to play one.
I'm a total novice - so the first step would probably be to see if I
even have the manual dexterity to even work one.
Does anyone know of anyone in New York City who could help?
