The tekero technique for Hungarian music is different from the French style. The wheel is small, making fast 'coups' easy. The small wheel is less suitable for slower melodies; imagine the difference between short bow folk fiddles articulating short notes (semi-quavers) all the time and violins with a standard bow. Irish players use a standard bow but use only a short section of it because the notes are fast and furious. More of the bow is used in slow airs. So it is more a matter of what music you want to play rather than the tone quality of the instrument. They all sound like hurdy-gurdies, after all. MP _____

California Dave <[email protected]> Feb 12 09:31PM -0800 I know the Hackman's. I met them in 1995 at Tacoma. We all attended a peg making workshop with Eric Meyer. I learned a lot from Eric and have made hundreds of pegs since. Mostly for lutes and citterns and fiddles! Is there any way to post photos? Also, I have some new, I think, ideas. I'd like to share them. since I have resumed making this 'gurdy, I anticipate finishing it up within six months. Dave Bucher, Citeraro.

I understand the physical differences. I have also listened to a ton of samples. And, what it comes down to is that the tekero seems to have a deeper, muted sound. But other than that, it all seems like a fiddle/violin distinction where the music played is different rather than the instrument's sound. Any help would be appreciated. On the cusp of buying one or the other. You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group hurdygurdy. You can <mailto:[email protected]> post via email.
