At one time, around a year or two ago, I was exploring the hurdy-gurdy
although can't remember where I heard one used in the Jewish band. For buying
one I only knew and know of Lark in the Morning. Also, didn't know which
variety or brand to consider. Since I'm not familiar enough with the
capabilities and difficulty of obtaining the sound or maneuvering the notes,
which kind or brand would be best. I had at one time heard of the hurdy gurdy
being used in Jewish music but am pleased, certainly, to hear more about it
and actually see it in a wedding scene.
Hints from players? Where to purchase, browse? Which kind? (Square, simple,
French, German?)
Thanks!
Adrianne
