Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

The closet does seem to be the condition in some circles. A local Irish-Traditional fiddler recently confessed to me in hushed, vulnerable tones of having just bought a hurdy-gurdy herself. And LIKING it. :wink:

Naturally I was scandalised, but, being Nano, only mildy so.

Hey Nano, if your friend also likes H-Ds, then suggest that she listens to these guys:


Montferrine - Folk Music From Romandie

Or she might enjoy browsing through my own Hurdy-Gurdy Page

Of course, if she likes the Gurdy then, being a Fiddle player she'll just Lurv the sound of the Nyckelharpa.

So tell her to check out these guys:


Pettersson & Fredriksson

Thanks! I decided to add my personal take, as well. I'm thinking this may be a trend - for a time, at least - if I can keep crapping out the pearls of wisdom for it. :wink:

Anyway, I figured I should cut-and-paste it to this post for the undoubted benefit of a grateful posterity. I'm feeling restless, and a new quote may be a-borning to replace it.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled program. :)
