> it's the original kit designer/builder who has a lot to answer for. Hi David--
The one you pointed out hurts my eyes! It should be obvious from the pictures that the buyer isn't getting something of quality, unless he is just not that discerning, which is more his problem than the seller's. > Where do you live, Michael? Augusto-- Texas. I have actually seen two different American-made ones recently. Didn't really get to hear what either was capable of, though. But my interest in hurdy-gurdies is not based upon any exposure to a real instrument. It was Georges de la Tour's painting of the blind hurdy-gurdy player at an art exhibit here years ago that did it for me. --Michael Sad, sad, sad :-( That was exactly my point, and exactly why I brought this up. I wish there was some way we could get these "sewing machines" off the market, but I guess there's no hope of that. I don't really blame the person who's building these kits (he is filling a market desire, and probably doesn't know much about HGs) - it's the original kit designer/builder who has a lot to answer for. ________________________________ From: David Gillett <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, April 13, 2011 3:16:38 PM Subject: Re: [HG-new] GSO on eBay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
