I also have an instrument by Rebollo, that I picked up at Anxo Pintos' house (another gurdyist, from Vigo - he is in the groups Berroguetto and Lizgairo - check him out!).
Oscar is a great teacher - does he teach now in Santiago? I know he lives in Narón, not that far from A Coruña. I didn't know that Germán taught. I visited with him in Santiago (he used to live there at least) and he is a great guy, and a virtuoso! Try contacting Anxo Pintos (you can find him looking for his group on facebook or myspace - he has a FB profile as well), he is another great teacher - he doesn't use the trompette string, because traditional Galician gurdies don't even have those. Try contacting Mauro Sanín (on Facebook as "Ariel Ninas" or "A Central Folque"), he is a great gurdyist Germán and Oscar introduced me to. I will try to upload a video about a folk music college (that doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately) in Lalín in which everyone can watch Oscar and Mauro playing, as well as other great folk music performances from Galiza. It is all in Galician, but the language barrier will not be a problem, I hope.
