Greetings from Wuppertal, Germany

Whilst Googling "Hurdy Gurdies" and "Drehleiers" I came across this forum and saw some posts referring to my on line Diary of building my Lute Backed Hurdy Gurdy. Then I saw some names which were familiar - I needed to be a member!! Now here I am and I can see it's going to take some tiime to work my way through the posts!

Hi Glyn,
Welcome to the forum (at long last) !
It was through the forum that I found out you had a website documenting your hurdy gurdy making - you never let on about it yourself (too modest for your own good ).
Regards,

Hi Bridget,
I was not aware that there was such an excellent Forum available on the Net. I'm looking forward to learning loads here!!

Hi Glyn,
Oh dear, didn't I tell you about it? Sorry, I thought I had. Don't forget to check out the forum and this bulletin board regularly for all the latest gurdy news.

Hi Barnaby,

Haven't started the hurdy gurdy build, just finished my 4th (and by far best) dulcimer. Solid walnut, handcut MOP inlays, ebony binding and purfling, built under the supervision of an exceedingly skilled luthier. Pictures are here: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/9220294/2/Instruments/Dulcimer%204?h=c1d9f3

Hurdy Gurdy may be the next instrument on the list, or I might try a guitar - my teacher is determined that I should learn how to build guitars, as that was his area of expertise. And a lot of the work will carry over into HG making, so I think I might do a guitar next.

Thanks,
Barnaby

Nice build! I look forward to seeing your Hurdy Gurdy (after the Guitar of course!!)
