Hi John, Rochester seems to be at least close to the turning point of our route. I suggest that I will send you an email when I can see if and when we are close to Rochester. So maybe it will be possible to make an appointment to meet. Would be nice to talk to somebody playing the hurry-gurdy in the States.
And, sorry I have to disappoint you: I won't bring my instrument to the U.S. On the one hand the shipping is expensive, on the other hand I do not trust the company (even if it's Lufthansa) to handle my instrument with care. I have a Weichselbaumer Alto (4 chant, 3 drone, 3 trumpet stings) which is an expensive instrument so I won't run any risk, even if I have a hard case for it. (you can see pix of me and my hg on www.gambrinus-folk.de - There is also a link to Djshop where you can here samples of my band playing. I hope it can be possible to hook up and I will get you informed as soon as I can se when we are approaching Rochester.
