Pinetop Slim Help: Are Hurdy-Gurdys hard to learn to play? (46) RE: Help: Are Hurdy-Gurdys hard to learn to play? 29 Jul 01

Kat: I'm fairly certain there are some recordings with Lorraine Lee Hammond on mountain dulcimer and Jake Walton on hurdy gurdy. I haven't heard them, but I'd bet they're a treat. PM me if you want me to chase down further details.
Dulcimer player I.B. Stamper was also a builder of hurdy gurdys. There are pictures of some on his "Red Wing" album (June Appal label). As far as I know, Stamper's workshop was not overly sophisticated, so I'm guessing there's a chance that a playable HG can be built for an affordable price.
