George Leverett -woodworking & design, harpist, hurdy gurdy
George was a business student in college (at UNR in Nevada).
He was going to be an accountant, but we all know how hard it is to find work in that field. So, he took the easy way out and
became a musician & luthier instead. George started making harps way back in 1994. In the late 1990's, George
got his first taste of making hurdy gurdies and found his other musical love in these wild and wonderful instruments.
Who are We? -
Besides making instruments, we are also professional performers-using the same designs & instruments for our live
shows and c.d.'s that we offer for sale.
It's important to us that our craft only enhances the environment,
to that end our electricity is derived from windpower.
At any time you will only hear gentle orchestral (classical) music
in the woodshop, because this is the energy we want fueling our creativity. Even though we've made hundreds of instruments to
date, we can't wait to make the next hurdy gurdy or harp, delighting to hear each of these instruments make their music for the first
time.
