Didn't realise you had your own website documenting your hurdy gurdy making - I'm even more impressed with you now (is that possible?)! I've just read Uwe H's comment - it'll be interesting to see and hear his tenor HG.
Take care and see you in Bad Homburg in March.
Love,
Bridget :o)

Glückwunsch zu Deiner Doku. Zwischen den Bildern sieht man den Schweiß, die Tränen aber auch eine unendliche Geduld und das Glück und die Freude an dem fertigen Werk.
Super.
Ich für meinen Teil habe eine neue Leier angefangen. Mensur 46 cm ! Frei nach der Leier von Johannes.
Alles Liebe, viel Spaß und bis bald.

I first saw, and heard, a hurdy gurdy in 1993 at the same museum in Nurnberg you got your plans from. I have been facinated with them ever since. Yes, finished instruments are too expensive and even the kits are high. You give hope to those who want to take a different course. I would like to see how all the strings are tuned, especially the sympathetic strings.
Thanks for sharing your project.

Dear Michael
The Melody Strings are tuned to G, the mouche (top left drone) is set to G one octave lower and the Bass Drone (top right) is G
once again but again one octave lower. The trumpet String (botom left) is set to the C below the melody strings and the Tenor Drone
(botom right) is set to C one octave lower. Which leaves only the Resonance Strings which are set 2 to C and 2 to G.
