Hi everyone. My name is Fi and I am an Instrumentaholic. I am hopefully in
the process
Nice kit. The price is good too considering the price of the finished product.
Is the trompette the dog thingy? (ok I'm a newby and totally ignorant)
So what sort of playing do you want to do? Do you play out or are you a closet
instrumentalist?

I know a lot a people who have bought various kits and made the instruments.
Many of them have been happy with the results even though the instrument
often requires a fair bit of tweaking. What is it about the hurdy gurdy
that makes it particularly unsuited to kit form. Is it the lack of the
Musical tastes change of course. One of the most obvious ones that just
about everyone would know is the Disney movie Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs. Someday my Prince will Come??!?!?!? Not with that tremolo honey.

Australia doesn't have the population to support the quantity of faires and
cons that the US does. There is a Medieval Faire held just north of
Brisbane that I went to last year. They had medieval battle re-enactments,
sword fighting lessons, archery and blacksmithing. The horses in the lists
I followed the link to the hurdygurdywiki site below. There was a link for
lost and found hurdy gurdys. It was empty. Isn't that so nice.
I have an old clapped out Mittenwald violin and a german lute guitar from
somewhere there as well.
I was thinking how nicely they would go with my English
Looks like a really bad drawing of a hurdy gurdy. Don't know if you could
build one like that. The artist seems to have lost the strings and keybox.

My beautiful new hurdy gurdy arrived today from England. It has 2
chanterelles in D, one drone in D and a Trompette in G. It is a lute back
with two rows of keys the bottom with 12 and the top with 9.
Now I just have to learn to set it up and play it. The maker sent cotton
and spare strings
Prayer might be the best option vbg.
I am in a small rural town. As far as I know I have the only hurdy gurdy
here but I could be wrong. I don't know everyone in the district. I just
heard there is a hurdy gurdy group that meets in Brisbane which is about 2
and 1/2 hours drive away so I might
I'm here. I have nothing to say that is gurdy related as I have been too
busy with other stuff this week to play with mine. I am also unable to go
to the gurdy fest so I am sulking in my corner.

Well actually there was one lady early this year who is building a HG to go
busking at a renaissance faire. I don't think she has raised her voice
again after being blasted into the renaissance era or at least the fifteenth
century by the anti kit sentiment.
As for entertainment. You can still
I heard about this guy who had an appointment in a rough part of town. He
was in the middle of his appointment when he realised he had left the car
unlocked and his hurdy gurdy in plain view on the back seat.
When he got back to the car sure enough the worst had happened.
There were two hurdy
IN a city near me there is a music store and the owner is a collector.
Displayed on shelves and hanging on the wall are the most amazing
instruments including a lovely hurdy gurdy that looks to me to be in
playable condition. I asked if any of the instruments got played and was
told. No you don't
Sorry but Australia is the same. It is so much easier to push the switch down.

My mother used to grow ornamental gourds.They were like different shaped
pumpkins and had very hard skin and very watery insides like vegetable
marrows or zucchini that just dried up and left the hard shell and a few
seeds maybe rattling inside. The larger ones you could carefully cut the
top
I have a snake charmers flute made from a gourd and technically the sitar
uses gourds for the big resonators. A Hurdy gurdy made with a gourd might
be a bit delicate I imagine. Mind you it is possible to laquer a gourd into
a pretty tough shell.
