READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING METAL TANGENTS:
When you order, please be prepared with the Serial# of your Altarwind hurdy gurdy, found on the underside of the keychest lid.
Due to limited milling machines in our shop and the demands of our own production,   we are limiting sales of metal tangents to Altarwind customers (as verified by the instrument serial#). This includes wholesale orders to other luthiers (effective May 31, 2020).
