...Just a little not directly "gurdiest" (gurdistic? gurdiewhatever??) thing,
Augusto: hurdy-gurdy, the word, is "sanfona" in galician language, never
"zanfona". That is the spanish one. I know, there is a word you can hear there
in my little country. Consequences of colonialism. But idiom is what it is.
(let me give you an example, not about colonialism just about linguistic
substitution --different causes, but it can be useful-- : "chanterelle" or
"chien" or "mouche", they are not english words and they are pretty used in our
english conversations).

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.

Hi. In Aug 2011 I am moving to Lisbon Portugal for a 2 year work
contract. I will be bringing a volksgurdy from Olympia Musical
Instruments. I am a new beginning student!
Does anyone have a contact in Lisbon?
Thanks,
