Calling any Hurdy Gurdy teachers in New York City

[Jeeves]

I'm thinking seriously about taking up the Hurdy Gurdy. I was heavily involved in historical reenactment (17th Century) in England for 25 years before moving to the States. Outside Plimouth Plantation and Jamestown, both of which employ professional reenactors, there is little scope for 17th century activity here. In any event, I'm getting too old to carry a 16' pike or matchlock musket!

I've seen and heard Hurdy Gurdies in England, and rather like the idea of learning how to play one.

I'm a total novice - so the first step would probably be to see if I even have the manual dexterity to even work one.

Does anyone know of anyone in New York City who could help?
