Folks, I have loaded my contribution to the T-Shirt design into the files section of the forum under Geoff's Tunes. Anyone is welcome to use it. Note. The...
The T shirt design was not from the Musica getuscht, but from an early 17th century woodcut of a selection of instruments, in a book whose title so far escapes...

Hi All, I'm restoring a Bernard Ellis guitarback, almost identical to the one that sold on EBay a couple of days ago. I'm at the point of drilling out to fit...
Hi Steve I don't get how using violin adjusters at the bridge end will achieve the same effect as a sliding nut. Unless i am missing something the adjusters...
quite right. The adjusters are fine tuning versions of the pegs. It's the distance BETWEEN the nut and the bridge that you want to alter (as the adjusters are...
Here's the link to a new gurdy/piano number, hopefully sounding a little more cosy and upbeat that the one I uploaded last month. (just click the play button...
Hi Matt that is a lovely piece, and in answer to the question i think the street music should be happy. I am playing on the street this Sunday and intend to...
Hi Matt I love your tunes on soundclick. Piano/gurdy is a good combination, I've never dared try it, my piano playing is even more primitive than my gurdy. But...
For anyone who likes a challenge, I've massaged the canon to fit on the d/g gurdy. It's on the files in midi. If there are 3 players who get it sorted,and one...
So we are all off to play at weddings now :-) Nice to have it in "simple" form. The usual printouts from midi sources are rather complicated (understatement). ...
The angle is not critical, I've seen a wide variation and they all work. The main criteria is that the strings should run at the same angle as the tailpiece so...
If you have not clicked-on to the youtube link below do it now, it's brilliant. It's great to know that I am not alone in totaly detesting this particular...
Sorry, couldn't disagree more. It's one of the cleverest pieces of music you'll come across. Just because it's played often doesn't make it bad music, quite...
I think you have hit the nail on the head here. There are particular pieces of music that the limitations of the hurdy-gurdy keeps us protected from having to...
I kinda like it, and having played at my share of weddings, I still enjoy it But, having said that, I think the parody I sent you on youtube is one of the...
Seems to me the hurdy-gurdy is a chromatic instrument with nearly 2 full octaves available. The only limitation apart from the need to have drone friendly...
