"I wanted to thank you for everything, the gurdy is fantastic!  You've gone far and above all of my expectations.  The instrument sounds and looks great. The artwork is awesome, the craftsmanship is superb, and the electronics sound so cool! I'd definitely recommend any of my folkie friends to your excellent business, even if it meant not being one of the only dudes around with a hurdy gurdy ;)"
