Don't sell it. If you want to play bad enough you will succeed. You quite clearly have a good instrument and just need a little support to get up to speed. The hurdy-gurdy has a reputation of being difficult to play, this needn't be the case. Obviously you need to put in some time as with any instrument but with good guidence it is possible to reach a good standard. In many cases this can even be achieved without ever having to learn to read music. I am sure there will be people on this list who could help and maybe even live close to you.

It was built around 2002 and cost almost $6,000. There was a two-year waiting period just to begin getting it built. It has a 3-pickup amplification system, built-in tuner, sympathetic strings, outputs for various situations (1/4", XLR). It's old world meets modern technology. Really hope to try and make some progress learning how to play it otherwise I should consider giving it a good home. Will consider selling it privately first before going on eBay. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
