Sorry for taking so long to reply - I am going through some old unread
messages

Maybe you'll find someone in Lisbon, because the gurdy is quite popular in
the neighboring country of Galiza (NW bit of Spain on top of Portugal).
There it is called zanfona. In Portugal it is called "sanfona" or "viela de
roda".

Try to go to Santiago de Compostela or A Coruña in Galiza and you will find
many gurdyists around. There are even at least two "folk universities" in
Galiza that teach the HG in their curriculum, and I've heard that the
usually have weekend classes - it is easy to drive back and forth from
Portugal or hop on a train or something. It is all subsidized and really
cheap.
