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. Augusto On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 10:42 AM, doug.abshire <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi. In Aug 2011 I am moving to Lisbon Portugal for a 2 year work > contract.
