Inspiration

These youtube videos pretty much got me started on this whole thing:


I'm now the proud owner of Die Drehleier: Feinabstimmung und Wartung or The Hurdy-Gurdy: Adjustment and Maintenance. I feel like it would go well with The Spoking Word and How to Avoid Huge Ships in an obscure books collection. I bought it from Dusty Strings music shop in Seattle, on the recommendation of Olympic Musical Instruments. It got here right quick.

The next step is to find some cheap or, preferably, free wood and have a go at the $20 hurdy-gurdy.
