Hi Sally, Welcome to the rabbit hole, a serious can of worms, it's been only one month since I joined the group, and I had no idea what I was getting into. I've learned more in one short month about Hurdy Gurdy's than I could have ever imagined, also made contacts and friends who have helped me so much.
Alden and Cali Hackmann say it best: "A hurdy-gurdy is a big commitment, for you as the player and us as the builders. It's a demanding instrument." My first Herdy Gerdy will be arriving next Monday and I'm so exited. Ian ------------------------------ <http://lesbucherons.com> * * *PH. 780-996-8520 OFF. 780-922-6000 EM.
