Hi CarolC, Sorry for the slow response. I just got back from vacation and saw your question about whether the lady in the picture with me is playing the hurdy-gurdy. It all depends on what picuture you were looking at. In the Mudcat Photos area, picture #2 has her playing the hurdy-gurdy and picture #3 shows her playing the nyckelharpa. In the Mudcat Profiles, the picture shows her playing the nyckelharpa. By the way, she's my wife and music partner Anna. -John
