If anyone wants to read an irate rant about a people writing music for instruments they don't understand, here's my blog:

If I survive this, everyone should come to NYC and hear me perform in Mother Courage this August:

to witness the extremely rare event, perhaps justifiably rare, of a hurdy gurdy in an orchestra.

    ...I havent read articles but can tell you stright away why HG are not played in orchestras - one big main reason: ignorance ;-)

    I cant imagine like someone can live his life without even knowing the sound of it - especially being a muso its a double shame ;-))

    ok - now I'm going to read articles....

    cheers :-)
