Indiana Hurdy Gurdy Workshop

The final winding miles taking us to the Waycross  convention center near Bloomington, Indiana were as beautiful in their October colors as last year. Hurdy-gurdy players from across the US both novice and professional enjoyed 4 days of teaching, learning, and most of all great music. Master Instructors Juan Wijngaard, Bob  Green and Michael Opp each taught several classes, Mel Dorries of Hurdy-gurdy Crafters was there with his tool box as well as his Maestro. Others brought a variety of instruments including home built gurdies and even a few by European builders. Other instruments included bagpipes, hammer dulcimer, flute, and concertina.

As you enjoy the sampling of pictures from the weekend, picture your self in one of the classes, at the lunch table, or playing your instrument far into the evening with other musicians picking up a suggestion or sharing one. Then watch this blog for the dates for next year and mark it on your claendar. We would love to see you there.








Good food and good fellowship and lots of gurdy talk.

Michael works one on one as well as with a class. The personal instruction available and everyones willingness to answer your questions makes it the perfect place for beginners as well as experienced musicians.






Hope to see you next year!
