Jake, I think that's an entirely justified rant in response to a poorly considered posting. I do hope that you'll keep at it - it sounds like you have a wonderful instrument from which you can get a lot of joy.
Have you been to any hurdy-gurdy gatherings? I got started at the Over the Water - a whole week of sharing the joys and frustrations of the instrument with other players of all levels in a supportive community where you can always turn to someone and say "Why is it doing this?". Since then I've always tried to find other players or would-be players wherever I go, for mutual encouragement and for sharing suggestions and experience. I've found that to be a great help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
