My needs were different back then when he wrote to me. I was shopping back then.
I had wanted an actual lira, but was too shy to ask him. He was very very nice to write to. ( I own two gurdys now.)
His items are probably very fine quality. You owe it to yourself to go there to see him, and by all means plan ahead. Have a still camera, film, and a video. Or, if he has a video camera, bring a blank tape that would fit his camera there. Help him out, too. Take many pictures of his shop, and the products, and of him at work. You could send those back to him. Very few people a blessed enough to get to Finland. Ask him for copies of some Finnish meodies for gurdy, or is there a good Scandinavian CD that features lira? Make an appointment with him, and ask him ahead to copy a few scandinavian songs that show the lira in his culture. He could play some melodies for you. Don't hold back with such a rare chance to enhance the world of music. And, share it all with this list! Were it me, I'd crawl through a good Finnish snow storm to get to my appoinment with him there. :)
