As we celebrate our 11th generation of instruments, we have a new tangent design!  Our custom design is a hybrid of metal tangents & the old wood tangents, and are made using composite materials (additive manufacturing). 
Like metal tangents, you can adjust along two axes (both side to side, and up & down), but more with the ease of wooden tangents.  They're really the best of all worlds! 

And as a result of the lower manufacturing time involved,  we are now including a full set of drone capos as a standard part of all our models! We've been playtesting them for the past year, and are so pleased with the sound and action, they are now a standard part of our production instruments.

New soundhole option - now available.  Modern style 'c' soundholes

Hi friends, we were cast in the film 'Bad Fish' , which is now available on streaming.
'Bad Fish' premiered in Ashland Oregon last January (2024), enjoyed a theatrical run last summer throughout the Pacific Northwest, and is now available on Tubi!
George Leverett played a 'Full Monty' hurdy gurdy in the film, as part of the Pirate band in the bar scene.
'Bad Fish' is a Mermaid / horror story set off the California & Oregon coast. Enjoy!

After a few years of playtesting, we are thrilled to announce our new 'Tenor" model hurdy gurdy!  Check out the description page for more!
