Testimonials: Hurdy Gurdy

Hello, I've been meaning to write a note to let y'all know I finished my Hurdy Gurdy kit. I went the quick and dirty route and got it done in about a week (including a rubbed on satin poly finish.) I still need to spend some time to fine tune the tangents but it is playing nicely and I am enjoying the heck out of it.  There are a couple pictures at: http://www.angelfire.com/music6/eded/hurdy/   Thanks Ed Edelenbos

Your Hurdy Gurdy kit started me on the fascinating journey of making an playing the Hurdy Gurdy. Since building and modifying your kit from 1995 - 1999, I have since restored a French Luteback Hurdy Gurdy in 2001 and this year have just completed my own design for a great sounding guitar shaped Hurdy Gurdy. I still play my Musicmaker occasionally and I am amazed at the full rich sound that it has, and it can hold its own even with the historic and quality instruments that I now own. If it wasn't for your reasonably priced Hurdy Gurdy kit I may very well have never started to delve into the fascinating world of the Hurdy Gurdy. Thanks so much for being there. -David Smith
