JOE TALAMO, J P'S GUSTO, Winner: "For being so young he's so mature and very, very professional. He was beat by a head or a neck then he really fought back. You really like to see that in a young horse. I was pretty confident down the backstretch. I knew the horse in front was going very quick for a two year old. At three-quarters I definitely thought he was going to stop the last part. I had to move a little bit earlier than I would have liked to because (Joel) Rosario (on Western Mood) moved too and I just went with him. That's why we stayed so wide coming off the turn….we made it kind of our race. He was really finishing the last part."
JOEL ROSARIO, WESTERN MOOD, Second: "The other horse floated me out a little bit, by my horse was digging in. He's still learning, it was only his second start. He's a real good horse and I think this race will help him next time."
DAVID HOFMANS, J P'S GUSTO, Winner: "He showed some heart and fought back. Both colts are pretty nice. They beat the field off quite well. I think Joe had to move a little sooner than he wanted to because that horse was so far in front. He's always been a confident horse but I think this will give him more confidence, especially the way he came back. Not all horses will do that once they get headed in deep stretch like that. I think he's right up there with General Meeting. He reminds me of General Meeting a lot, they're similar in their body style. We'll probably go next in the Best Pal (Aug. 8 at Del Mar). The Del Mar Futurity (Sept. 8) is our goal."

Wedgwood and Bentley Medallion of Aristippus of Cyrene

Key Features
Click to See Complete Item Details »
Item Details
- Width:
1 7/8 Inches
- Period:
18th Century
- Origin:
A wonderful Wedgwood and Bentley jasper cameo medallion depicting Greek philosopher Aristippus of Cyrene, a follower of Socrates. Medallions such as these are truly exceptional, as solid jasper was only made by Wedgwood for a short period of time. Set in a brass frame, this plaque is stamped "Wedgwood" on the reverse side. Circa 1773 1 7/8" wide x 2 1/8" high Some of Wedgwood's most decorative and meticulous work was executed in cameos and medallions. Using royalty and celebrated personages as subjects, these medallions comprise what is considered to be the largest and most uniquely interesting series of historical portraits ever undertaken in any medium. The invention of the jasper body around 1775 enabled Wedgwood to produce white cameo reliefs on a colored ground in beautiful combinations. The relief was molded separately and so carefully applied that these cameos are often flawless under a magnifying glass. Embodying classical beauty and simplicity, jasper medallions are among Wedgwood's most sought-after wares. Reference:Wedgwood Jasper, 1972, Robin Reilly

Zen and the art of the wave, the world's foremost pioneer surfers show the soul of surfing is in the life force of the ocean. Seen through the eyes and thoughts of some of the worlds most known watermen. We ask if the ocean is alive, does it have a consciousness, can time change in the ocean, can we become water, how is all life made of waves, and how to connect to them.

The House and Senate Conferees released a Farm Bill Monday night. With the House rules requiring three days for a vote, and the House Republicans going on retreat on Thursday, reports indicated House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) has included the Farm Bill conference report on his legislative schedule for possible consideration on Wednesday.
Read the Farm Bill conference report here. The Dairy Title is on pages 95-117 of the 949-page document.
Under the bill, USDA must establish a Margin Protection Program for dairy producers no later than Sept. 1, 2014. All U.S. dairy operations will be eligible to participate, provided they register (method to be determined by USDA) and pay an annual $100 fee to cover administrative costs.
If a participating dairy operation is operated by more than one producer, all will be treated as a single dairy operation. If a dairy producer operates two or more dairy operations, each must register separately to participate.
Production history
To participate, dairy operations must establish production history. Initially, the production history of a dairy operation for the margin protection program is equal to the highest annual milk marketings of the participating dairy operation during any one of the 2011, 2012 or 2013 calendar years. The individual production history will grow by the U.S. average production growth in subsequent years. So, producers who expand significantly beyond average U.S. growth will not be able to protect the additional milk production under this program. Beyond that, there is no significant penalty – there is no dairy market stabilization program.
For participating dairy farms in operation for less than a year, the participating dairy operation may determine a production history by using the volume of the actual milk marketings for the months the participating dairy operation has been in operation extrapolated to a yearly amount; or estimate of the actual milk marketings of the participating dairy operation based on the herd size relative to the national rolling herd average.
Protection, premiums
Dairy operations may select margin insurance to protect between a $4.00/cwt. to $8.00/cwt. milk-feed price margin in 50¢ increments. They may also elect to cover a percentage of their milk production in 5% increments, beginning with 25% and not exceeding 90% of the production history.
There are two tiers of pricing for annual premiums. The first 4 million lbs. of milk sold annually will have significantly lower premiums than milk production above 4 million lbs. The $4.00/cwt. margin coverage level is available at no cost, but the premiums become increasingly expensive as margins increase. Additionally, premiums below the $8.00 level will be discounted by 25% for the first two years of the program (2014 & 2015) for the first 4 million lbs. of production history.

A term denoting musics, fixed on a medium or performed live (often utilising a laptop computer), based on the structuring and manipulation of small audio artefacts traditionally considered as defects, such as clicks. The term implies a celebratory lo-fi aesthetic, and inherently is closely related to the concepts of the grain and granularity.

Jockey Quotes
RAFAEL BEJARANO, SMILING TIGER, Winner: "I knew the front two (Smash, Private Zone) were going to the lead, so I just wanted to make sure my horse broke well because sometimes he doesn't. Once I broke well, I was just waiting and waiting on the outside until the stretch. The outside of the track has been better, so it worked out really well.''
MARTIN PEDROZA, PRIVATE ZONE, Second: "He ran well, especially from the inside. I tried to go so I wouldn't be on the rail, but I wound up there anyway."
DAVID FLORES, CAPITAL ACCOUNT, Third: "This horse needs six and a half or seven furlongs for his best. He was slow out of there and made up a lot of ground, but not enough."
Trainer Quotes
JEFF BONDE, SMILING TIGER, Winner: "He took a little break and came back for the big race (Breeders' Cup Sprint Nov. 3). He wheeled right back and trained great for this race. As a 2-year-old he had a throat issue. We did a procedure on him and it lasted 2 ½ years, so you can't really cry about it. It fell apart on us at Betfair Hollywood Park in his last start and we had to do it again. (Owners Alan Klein and Philip Lebherz) said we had to make the Breeders' Cup and we did. We'll try to space his races because we're hoping to take him to Dubai."

Charming 1953 news footage of the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales, featuring footage of a number of French hurdy-gurdy players accompanying dancers (about 1 minute into the clip). See here.
And more footage, this one from French Week in Jersey - the "hokey kokey of its period". See here.
and footage from the Paris Exhibition of 1937, including hurdy-gurdy and dancers. See here.
The UK hurdy-gurdy forum has recently added a terrific new Resources page, with links to other sites, makers, artists, music and more. Check it out here.
The hurdy-gurdy is the 18th Century English slang term for the instrument, but it is known by a whole variety of terms in English as well as other languages. Here is what I've stumbled across:
From Dictionary of Scots Language via posting from Geoff Turner here:
DSL - DOST Symphio(u)n, n. Also: sumphion. [Altered form of ME symphan (Manning), symfan (c1330), e.m.E. cymphan (1509), OF simphoine (OED), f. as SYMPHONY n.] = SYMPHONY n. a. —- Psaltery symphion & claroun … Befor the barne all playit thai; Seven S. 2523.

IV 564. —- With instruments melodious, The seistar and the sumphion [etc.]; BUREL Queen's Entry 137
Volume III of "London Labour and the London Poor" by Victorian journalist Henry Mayhew has an interesting interview with a French hurdy-gurdy player from London circa 1850 (see pp.171-174). A touching insight into the life of a street musician. You can find the whole book on Google here but what follows is the relevant section:
French Hurdy-gurdy Player, With Dancing Children
"I play on the same instrument as the Savoyards play, only, you understand, you can have good and bad instruments; and to have a good one you must put the price. The one I play on cost me 60 francs in Paris. There are many more handsome, but none better. This is all that there is of the best. The man who made it has been dead sixty years. It is the time that makes the value of it.
"My wife plays on the violin. She is a very good player. I am her second husband. She is an Italian by birth. She played on the violin when she was with her first husband. He used to accompany her on the organ, and that produced a very fine effect.
"The hurdy-gurdy is like the violin - it improves with age. My wife told me that she once played on a very old violin, and the difference between that and her own was curious for sound. She was playing, with her husband accompanying her on the organ, near the chateau of an old marquis; and when he heard the sound of the violin he asked them in. Then he said, 'Here, try my violin,' and handed her the old violin. My wife said that when she touched it with the bow, she cried, 'Ah, how fine it is!' It was the greatest enjoyment she had known for years. You understand, the good violins all bridge where the bridge is placed, but the new violins sink there, and the tune is altered by it. They call the violins that sink the 'consumptive' ones.
"I am Dijon. The vineyard of Clos Nangent is near to Dijon. You have heard of that wine. Oh, yes, of course you have! That clos belongs to a young man of twenty-two, and he could sell it for 2,500,000 francs if he liked. At Dijon the bottles sell for 7 francs.
"My mother and father did not live happily together. My father died when I had three years, and then my mother, who only had twenty years of age, married again, and you know how it often happens, the second father does not love the first family of his wife. Some Savoyards passed through our village, and I was sold to them. I was their slave for ten years. I learned to play the hurdy-gurdy with them. I used to accompany an organ. I picked out note for note with the organ. When I heard an air, too, which I liked, I used to go to my room and follow the air from my memory upon the instrument. I went to Paris afterwards.
"You see I play on only one string in my hurdy-gurdy. Those which the Savoyards play have several strings, and that is what makes them drone. The hurdy-gurdy is the same as the violin in principle. You see the wheel of wood which I turn with the handle is like its bow, for it grates on the string, and the keys press on the string like the fingers, and produce the notes. I used to play on a droning hurdy-gurdy at first, but one night I went into a cafe at Paris, and the gentlemen there cried out, 'Ah! the noise!' Then I thought to myself - I had fifteen years - if I play on one string it will not produce so much noise as on two. Then I removed one string, and when I went the next night the gentlemen said 'Ah, that is much better!' and that is why I play on one string.
"I used to sing in Paris. I learnt all that of new in the style of romances, and I accompanied myself on the hurdy-gurdy. At Paris I met my wife. She was a widow then. I told her I would marry her when her mourning was over, which lasted nine months. I was not twenty then. I went about playing at cafes, and put by money. But when we went to be married, the priests would not marry us unless we had our parents' consents. I did not know whether my mother was dead. I hunted everywhere. As I could not find out, I lived with my wife the same as if we had been married. I am married to her now, but my children were all born before marriage. At last I went to the Catholic priest at Dover, and told him my life, and that I had four children, and wished to marry my wife, and he consented to marry us if I would get the consent of the priest of the place where I had lived last. That was Calais, and I wrote to the priest there, and he gave his consent, and now my children are legitimate. By the law of France, a marriage makes legitimate all the children born by the woman with whom you are united. My children were present at my marriage, and that produced a very droll effect. I have always been faithful to my wife, and she to me, though we were not married.
"When my wife is well, she goes out with me, and plays on the violin. It produces a very good effect. She plays the seconds. But she has so much to do at home with the children, that she does not come out with me much.
"My age is twenty-five, and I have voyaged for seventeen years. There are three months since I came in England. I was at Calais and at Boulogne, and it is there that I had the idea to come to England. Many persons who counselled us, told us that in England we should gain a great deal of money. That is why I came. It took three weeks before I could get the permission to be married, and during that time I worked at the different towns. I did pretty well at Dover; and after that I went to Ramsgate, and I did very well there. Yes, I took a great deal of money on the sands of a morning. I have been married a month now - for I left Ramsgate to go to be married. At Ramsgate they understood my playing. Unless I have educated people to play to, I do not make much success with my instrument. I play before a public-house, or before a cottage, and they say, 'That's all very well;' but they do not know that to make a hurdy-gurdy sound like a violin requires great art and patience. Besides, I play airs from operas, and they do not know the Italian music. Now if I was alone with my hurdy-gurdy, I should only gain a few pence; but it is by my children that I do pretty well.
"We came to London when the season was over in the country, and now we go everywhere in the town. I cannot speak English; but I have my address in my pocket, if I lose myself. Je m'elance dans la ville. To day I went by a big park, where there is a chateau of the Queen. If I lose my way, I show my written address, and they go on speaking English, but I do the pointed finger; and when I get near home, then I recognise the quarter.
"My little girl will have six years next February, and the little boy is only four years and a-half. She is a very clever little girl, and she notices everything. Before I was married, shed heard me speaking to my wife about when we were to be married; and she'd say, constantly, 'Ah, papa, when are you going to be married to mamma?' We had a pudding on our marriage-day, and she liked it so much that now she very often says, 'Oh, papa, I should like a pudding like that I had when you married mamma.' That is compromising, but she doesn't know any better.
"It was my little girl Eugenie who taught her brother Paul to dance. He liked it very much; but he is young yet, and heavy in his movements; but she is graceful, and very clever. At Boulogne she was much beloved, and the English ladies would give her packets of sugar-plums and cakes. When they dance, they first of all polk together, and then they do the Varsovienne together, and after that she does the Cachuca and the Mazurka alone. I first of all taught my girl to do the Polka, for in my time I like the dance pretty well. As soon as the girl had learnt it, she taught her brother. They like dancing above all, when I encourage them, for I say, 'Now, my children, dance well; and, above all, dance gracefully, and then I will buy you some cakes.' Then, if they take a fancy to anything, if it is not too dear, I buy it for them, and that encourages them. Besides, when she says 'Papa, when shall we go to France and see my little brother who is out at nurse?' then I say, 'When we have earned enough money; so you must dance well, and, above all, gracefully, and when we have taken plenty of money we will be off.' That encourages them, for they like to see me take plenty of money. The little girl accompanies the music on the castanets in the Cachuca. It is astonishing how well she plays them. I have heard grown-up artists in the cafes chantants, who don't play them as well as she does. It is wonderful in so young a child. You will say she has learnt my style of playing on the hurdy-gurdy, and my movements; but it is the same thing, for she is as clever to other music. Sometimes, when she has danced, ladies come up and kiss her, and even carry her off into their houses, and I have to wait hours for her. When she sees that I gain money, she has much more courage. When the little girl has done dancing with my Paul, then he, when she is dancing alone, takes the plate and asks for money. He is very laughable, for he can already say, 'If you please, misses.' Sometimes the ladies begin to speak to him, he says, 'Yes! yes!' three or four times, and then he runs up to me and says, 'Papa, that lady speaks English;' and then I have to say, 'No speak English.' But he is contented if he hears anybody speak French. Then he runs up to me, and says, 'Papa, papa, Monsieur speaks French.'
"My little girl has embroidered trowsers and petticoats. You won't believe it, but I worked all that. The ends of the trowsers, the trimmings to her petticoats, her collars and sleeves, all I have worked. I do it at night, when we get home. The evenings are long and I do a little, and at the end of the week it becomes much. If I had to buy that it would cost too much. It was my wife who taught me to do it. She said the children must be well dressed, and we have no money to buy these things. Then she taught me: at first is seemed droll to me, and I was ashamed, but then I thought, I do it for my business; and now I am accustomed to do it. You would fancy, too, that the children are cold, going about in the streets dressed as they are, but then the jumping warms them. They would tell me directly if they were cold. I always ask them.
"The day I was married a very singular circumstance happened. I had bought my wife a new dress, and she, poor thing, sat up all night to make it. All night! It cost me five shillings, the stuff did. I had a very bad coat, and she kept saying, 'I shall be gay, but you, my poor friend, how will you look?' My coat was very old. I said, 'I shall do as I am;' but it made her sad that I had no coat to appear in style at our marriage. Our landlord offered to lend me his coat, but he was twice as stout as I am, and I looked worse than in my own coat. Just as we were going to start for the church, a man came to the house with a coat to sell - the same as I have on now. The landlord sent him to me. It is nearly new, and had not been on more than three or four times. He asked 12s., and I offered 8s.; at last he took 9s. My wife, who is very religious, said, 'It is the good God who sent that man, to reward us for always trying to get married.'
"Since I have been here, my affairs have gone pretty well. I have taken some days 5s., others 6s., and even 8s.; but then some days rain has fallen, and on others it has been wet under foot, and I have only taken 4s. My general sum is 5s. 6d. the day, or 6s. Every night when I get home I give my wife what I have taken, and I say, 'Here, my girl, is 3s. for to-morrow's food,' and then we put the remainder on one side to save up. We pay 5s. a-week for our room, and that is dear, for we are there very bad! very bad! for we sleep almost on the boards. It is lonely for her to be by herself in the day, but she is near her confinement, and she cannot go out.
"It makes me laugh, when I think of our first coming to this country. She only wore linen caps, but I was obliged to buy her a bonnet. It was a very good straw one, and cost 1s. It made her laugh to see everybody wearing a bonnet.
"When I first got to London, I did not know where to go to get lodgings. I speak Italian very well, for my wife taught me. I spoke to an Italian at Ramsgate, and he told me to go to Woolwich, and there I found an Italian lodging-house. There the landlord gave me a letter to a friend in London, and I went and paid 2s. 6d. in advance, and took the room, and when we went there to live I gave another 2s. 6d., so as to pay the 5s. in advance. It seems strange to us to have to pay rent in advance - but it is a custom.
"It costs me something to clothe my children. My girl has six different skirts, all of silk, of different colours, grey, blue, red, and yellow. They last the year. The artificial flowers on her head are arranged by her mamma. The boots cost the most money. She has a pair every month. Here they are 3s., but in France they are dearer. It is about the same for the little boy; only as he does not work as much as his sister, he is not dressed in so distinguished a style. He is clean, but not so elegant, for we give the best to the girl.
"My children are very good at home. Their mother adores them, and lets them do as they like. They are very good, indeed.
"On Sunday, they are dressed like other children. In the morning we go to mass, and then we go and walk a little, and see London. I have, as yet, made no friends in London. I know no French people. I have met some, but they don't speak to me. We confine ourselves to our family.
"When I am in the streets with good houses in them, and see anybody looking at the windows, then if I see them listening, I play pieces from the operas on my hurdy-gurdy. I do this between the dances. Those who go to the opera and frequent the theatres, like to hear distinguished music."
Graham Whyte has posted a wonderful piece on "Old Sarah" - a blind hurdy-gurdy player from London, born in 1786, taken from "London Labour and the London Poor" by Henry Mayhew.
" I was born the 4th April, 1786 (it was Good Friday that year), at a small chandler's shop, facing the White Horse, Stuart's-rents, Drury-lane. Father was a hatter, and mother an artificial-flower maker and feather finisher. When I was but a day old, the nurse took me out of the warm bed and carried me to the window, to show some people how like I was to father. The cold flew to my eyes and I caught inflammation in them. Owing to mother being forced to be from home all day at her work, I was put out to dry-nurse when I was three weeks old. My eyes were then very bad, by all accounts, and some neighbours told the woman I was with, that Turner's cerate would do them good. She got some and put it on my eyes, and when poor mother came to suckle me at her dinner-hour, my eyes was all 'a gore of blood.' From that time I never see afterwards. She did it, poor woman, for the best; it was no fault of her'n, and I'm sure I bears her no malice for it. I stayed at home with mother until I was thirteen, when I was put to the Blind-school, but I only kept there nine months; they turned me out because I was not clever with my hands, and I could not learn to spin or make sash-lines; my hands was ocker'd like"

Nice photo-essay by Mark Hoogslag on Flikr as he documents the process of turning an old lute into a hurdy-gurdy.
"After 150 days of continuous work, an hour or so every day, a presentable and playable instrument has emerged. It looks as if it has been around for 150 years.
I last add three strings and a nice lady's belt. Three more strings, a lid, internal amplifiers and microphones will still need work, but first I must learn how to play what I have. And what I have sounds ROUGH and PURE and DARK and MYSTICAL and PAGAN."

I stumbled across a page at the University of New Hampshire, which provides an iconography (list of references to images) of the 16th Century hurdy-gurdy. Sadly no illustrations, but a comprehensive list nonetheless.
"The purpose of this iconography is to answer the question "Where can I find an illustration of …?" I have included only works of art for which there is a published reproduction (plus some that are in the Visual Collection, Fine Arts Library, Harvard University and a few in the Bild-Archiv Photo Marburg)."

TED Talks
Caroline Phillips cranks out tunes on a seldom-heard folk instrument: the hurdy-gurdy, a.k.a. the wheel fiddle. A searching, Basque melody follows her fun lesson on its unique anatomy and 1,000-year history.
Californian-born, French-resident entrepreneur and musician Caroline Phillips is one half of Basque music duo Bidaia, alongside Mixel Ducau. Her searching, Moroccan- and East Indian-inflected vocals are accompanied by the distinctive, folky sounds of the hurdy-gurdy, an unfamiliar and unusual string instrument operated with a crank-turned wheel.
Throughout her years as a professional musician, Phillips has regularly performed in jazz clubs and toured with her one-woman show in the Caribbean and North Africa.
Oliver Seeler has written a superb and detailed discussion of the hurdy-gurdy on his bagpipes-focused website (hotpipes). The hurdy-gurdy section starts here. Beyond discussing the long historical relationship between the pipes and the gurdy, he has three detailed sections dedicated the Lisberg Museum (of pipes and gurdies in Germany), a detailed explanation of the hurdy-gurdy and how it works, plus an essay on the "Hurdy Gurdy Girls" (poor women from the 1800's who played the hurdy-gurdy for a living but rapidly became synonymous with prostitution).
Interesting article on the history of the hurdy-gurdy (zanfona) in Spain:
"Can the hurdy gurdy be considered as part of the musical tradition of Spain? Can the bagpipes be considered a traditional instrument in continental Europe? The answer to both questions can be "Yes", but to justify that, on both cases you need to look back to the origins, and mainly to the development of these instruments. In the Middle Ages, both bagpipes and hurdy-gurdies were instruments played by the minstrels throughout all the old European kingdoms. There are numerous representations of pipers and hurdy gurdy performers in the sculptures of Romanesque & Gothic cathedrals and churches, as well as on ancient illustrated books and icons. Together with harps, flutes, lutes, etc…, they were quite popular, at least until the Renaissance or even later."

Simon Wascher has compiled some useful advice for what to look out for when buying a hurdy-gurdy. It's available on his website here, but I've reproduced it below for simplicity:
The instrument should have:
More strings cannot be controlled by a beginner. If an instrument with more strings is bought the extra drones and trompette strings shouldn't be used, extra melody strings be slacked off for the first years (just enough not to influence the playing pressure for the left hand).
A standard keyboard with all chromatic keys and a range of two full octaves. That is, 14 keys in the diatonic ('lower') row of keys and 10 keys for the chromatic pitches in the 'upper' row of keys. Traditional French instruments lack one key in the diatonic row (the seventh in the second octave) so it's 13 on those. The traditional Hungarian tekerš has a smaller range.
Standard measures:
For best playability, the keys of both rows should be positioned so that the divisions of neighbouring chromatic keys are positioned in the middle of the diatonic keys. Where semitones appear in the diatonic row, the divisions of the diatonic and chromatic keys should be aligned. Some traditional keyboard setups do not follow these guidelines which means that some key combinations are harder to play.
All keys must function and sound well, especially at the high pitches. Because one needs to learn how to play these high keys well, this should be tested by an experienced player, or let the seller play those keys for you. Comments like 'these keys are not used anyway' should make you very skeptical.
Question all statements by the seller deeply: even buying directly from a maker does not guarantee a functioning instrument since the philosophies (authenticity, discount) and opinions about quality vary widely.
And the main reason why instruments are sold second hand is that the owner was not satisfied with what he had.
Ask for the reasons for the sale and for the price, listen carefully to the answers and keep asking questions. For example, what exactly is the difference between the cheaper and the more expensive instruments of a maker.
With prices of less than 1000 Euro/US-Dollar I would be very skeptical. There will be some limitations that one will have to take into account. There are quite recommendable but also very bad instruments on the market for 1400 to 1600 Euro/US-Dollar. And finally a warning: there is also junk for sale for 3000 Euro/US-Dollar.
Hurdy-gurdies should always be bought directly from a maker and not from distributors, since those have usually no info and support at all. Ask the seller about included support.
Ask the following questions:
What is the wheel made of?
How can I remove the wheel?
Sit down with the instrument on your lap and let the seller fit the belt around your waist to secure the instrument.
The next step is to lift the wheel cover and the strings from the wheel (the seller can show you how). Now take the wheel at its sides with your hand (do not touch the rim) and try to move it left and right, back and forth and up and down. Then take hold of the axle directly where it comes out of the instrument and again try to move it. The wheel and the axle should not move and should make no noises, knocks, or bumps at all. This is a test to verify the quality of the bearings to see if they are OK.
Now with the strings still off, turn the wheel with the crank and listen for any sounds. There should be no bumping, scratching, knocking or similar noises (these noises can come from defects of the axles or the knob's bearings).
If there are no strings engaged with the wheel, the drag when turning should be very low and equal at all positions of the wheel. If the drag is strong in general or stronger in certain positions of the wheel: this needs repair.
Have a close look at the rim of the wheel. Turn it so that you see it's whole surface and edges. The surface and the edges should look sleek end even and show no scratches, slots or depressions. The wheel surface should be in perfect condition when finished by the maker. The condition declines from use and from time to time the rim has to be reworked. Do not believe remarks that the wheel 'has to be played some time' to improve.
You can test if the wheel is truly circular the following way: Let one melody string touch the wheel (the seller can do this for you) and then turn the wheel and let the string sound. Observe with a tuner if the pitch keeps the same or if the pitch goes up and down according to the turns of the wheel. If these changes of the pitch depend on the position of the wheel (and thus the handle) this is an indicator that the wheel is not truly circular and needs work.
The knob should turn freely in your hand: there is a bearing inside the knob which it turns on. If it does not turn freely, it's damaged. The size of the knob should be such that if you close your hand around it with the thumb touching the index finger, there should still be a gap between the knob and the hand.
Try to turn the tuning pegs. Naturally you cannot tune the instrument, but you can find out if the pegs turn smoothly and keep position when you loosen your grip, or if they jam or jump up.
Let the seller tune the instrument for you: observe if the seller can do this without trouble, if the pegs can be turned easily and whether they stay in position when released. In a good instrument, well made, adjusted and maintained, friction tuning pegs should be turnable without an extra tool, a 'tourne-a-gauche (tuning wrench)'.
Let the seller or another person play something for you, both without trompette and with the trompette. It must always sound nice. Have a look if the instrument is played with one or two melody-strings: ask that it is played with two melody strings (without and with trompette). That way even a beginner can hear if the instrument is well adjusted.
Press any chromatic key and open the lid of the key box. The key should not interfere with the lid. This would be a construction problem which is nasty when you try to tune the chromatic keys.
With instruments with two or more melody strings the tangents (like frets; the part of the key which touches the string and shortens it to change the pitch) must touch all melody strings simultaneously. Lay the instrument flat on a table and put all melody strings 'on' (the seller can show this to you). Now push all keys gently against the strings and have a very close look if all tangents really touch both strings.
If the strings do not touch simultaneously with wooden tangents, this means some hours to days of simple but exhausting adjustment. It is still about an hour of adjustment with metal tangents.
If you have a close look at the tangents also look for wear; heavily used tangents show notches.
In general as a beginner, one should go for the expertise of an advanced, possibly professional player. Even if it takes some time to find such a person, it saves a lot of money and prevents needless trouble and frustration.
It makes sense to participate at hurdy-gurdy classes with a borrowed instrument as part of the purchase process. One can have first experiences with the instrument and at these meetings there is a chance to hear and try a number of instruments by different makers and ask people's opinions about different hurdy-gurdies.
Graeme McCormack emailed me to let me know about his site - AntiQuated Strings - that documents a number of beautiful hurdy-gurdies that he has made - including one recycled from an old acoustic guitar body. What's more, he has detailed and beautifully drawn plans for his Sinfonye and Oud Backed Hurdy-gurdy which you can download for free. Even if you don't attempt to make the instrument, they would make a great poster for walls of your practice room.
Great site, well worth a visit.
Thanks to Pieter Lambrechts for pointing out this website, which documents the birth of a hurdy-gurdy - from planks of wood through to the finished article, complete with sound sample. Made by amateur luthier, Johan Kayaert, this is a detailed photographic essay. Words are in Dutch, but the process is clear just from the photos.
British luthier Nicholas Nourse has an interesting page illustrating his construction of a hurdy-gurdy based on the Marchand 1775 hurdy-gurdy. He is also offering full-size drawings for sale to allow other experienced craftsmen to make this instrument. More here. He has posted a similar page illustrating his construction of a hurdy-gurdy based on the famous Hieronymous Bosch painting, after plans by Marcello Bono - see here.
Antonio Poves has published a wonderfully detailed site dedicated to the organistrum, the earliest incarnation of the hurdy-gurdy. Although often thought of as an instrument for two players, Antonio points out that there are examples of instruments for one player, and that the defining characteristic is the location of the keybox (to the side of the body, rather than on top) rather than the number of players. The site is based on his doctoral thesis on the organistrum, which won an award for the best thesis in the area of Fine Art at the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain. The site includes information on a number of organistrums that he has reconstructed with the help of luthiers, as well as linked to recordings and videos he has made of the instrument. A very rich site and well worth visiting. Online here.
Jonathan Janson maintains a wonderful site called essential vermeer, which is dedicated to the work and life of Dutch painting master, Vermeer. A fantastic resource in its own right, it also includes a section on folk music at the time of Vermeer, including a comprehensive essay by Adelheid Rech on the hurdy-gurdy. Beautifully illustrated with period paintings and well written, it is an excellent guide to the history of the instrument. Well worth a read. Online here.
Renowned German maker Helmut Gotschy has also posted a detailed step-by-step breakdown of the making of one of his hurdy-gurdies. Lots of detail and many steps illustrated. Probably not something to try at home though… More here.
Back in 1999, Jon Hall put together a great site on the hurdy-gurdy. The core of this is a photographic diary showing the construction of his hurdy-gurdy by British maker, Mike Gilpin. An interesting look at the stages of making a hurdy-gurdy.
"What have I learned whilst having my instrument made? Well I guess that the most important thing is that actaully seeing your own gurdy being built from week to week is a wonderful thing. I would recommend that if possible, you should make an effort to go and see what your maker is doing. Not to chase them up, not to hurry them along but just to see what is happening. For those of us who have trouble putting a shelf up straight, seeing a pile of wood turn into a hurdy-gurdy is almost miraculous.
If you have a good relationship with your maker (as I would like to think I have with Mike) then it is easy to ask questions and perhaps (as we did) agree on little changes and modifications that you might like."

Cottoning is critical to the hurdy-gurdy, but where can you buy the right cotton for your instrument? Normal cotton wool used for removing make-up is not appropriate.
A good UK supplier of suitable cotton is Texere Yarns. They ship worldwide and a large 100g bag of cotton is only £3.90 (as of 4 April 2012). You can order online from their website here.
Hurdy-gurdies can suffer from keys that fail to fall back properly - so-called sticky keys. This is usually due to changes in humidity and the unequal expansion of the wood of the key and the wood of the keybox through which the key passes. The key is deliberately a tight fit on the instrument, to ensure that it doesn't wobble and that the tangent consistently touches the string in the correct place. However, this doesn't leave much room for swelling in the damp. Here are some common solutions mentioned online:
Remember, if using any kind of lubricant on the key, keep it well away from the wheel!
"gurdymaker" over at the Hurdy Gurdy Forum on Yahoo! Groups has posted some scans of a useful hurdy-gurdy fault-finding chart, originally contributed by Bill Molam (deceased) to the hurdy-gurdy society in 1983.
On the files section of the forum here.
Again, a dig into the archives of the hurdy-gurdy discussion list brings out an interesting post from Wolodymyr "Vlad" Smishkewych on tunings for the Galician zanfona. He writes {includes corrections from the thread following discussion with Simon Wascher):
The main difference between Galician zanfonas and other gurdies is that the instrument is exclusively built and played in what vielle-oriented gurdyists know as 'en musette', or without the mouche or trompette. The sound of the chanterelles is enhanced and made richer by adding a third chanterelle tuned an octave below the two unisons; the open tuning for the two standard Galician zanfonas would be:
as above:
From the archives of the hurdy-gurdy mailing list here, Simon Wascher posted a useful summary of the standard G/C hurdy-gurdy tunings:
A detailed article on tuning the hurdy-gurdy's tangenets using pure intervals by Ernic Kamerich:
"On a hurdy gurdy playing alone there is no harmony apart from the combination of melody and drone, so the obvious perfect way for tuning the tangents is by making all intervals pure between chanterelle and bourdon: a natural harmonic scale. That works well and makes the instrument sound sweet and beautiful.
However, most hurdy gurdies can use more than one bourdon and then things get more complicated. Moreover, playing together with other instruments may ask for a different tuning. Here will be explained what can be done without losing the sweet character of natural harmonic tuning."
Much, much more here.
Sudden changes in humidity can result in loose tangents as the tangent expands more than the wooden shaft on which it sits. Some quick fixes players have recommended for this in recent forum posts include:
(Thanks to Geoff Turner, Scott Marshall, Neil Brook, Martyn Robinson, hurdygurdyguy, clarerosephd for postings on the UK Yahoo! hurdy-gurdy forum for these suggestions)
The hurdy-gurdy discussion groups often focus on the issues of the impact of humidity on the hurdy-gurdy and how this can be ameliorated. Here are some of the key points that have arisen in these discussions:
Northern Renaissance Instruments, UK suppliers of strings for period instruments, has an article on hurdy-gurdy strings on its website - as well as a wide variety of string sets for sale.
"Since the melody doesn't cross strings In hurdy gurdies, choosing strings is a matter of finding the desired blend of sound, rather than balancing strings for equal output. Blend involves comparative loudness. The loudness of bowed strings is largely dependent on string tension. Different string tensions at the same pitch are achieved by different weights of the vibrating lengths of the strings."
Worth a read here.
Useful website from Xavier Aime here in which he provides details of the functioning and adjustment of the wheel, strings and dog on the hurdy-gurdy. Includes useful information on the Auvergnat and Bourbonnais tunings and the choice of strings.
Although we're all familiar with the idea that an A is defined (since 1939) as 440Hz, many people are less familiar with how the frequencies of all the other notes are defined. Notes an octave higher are, by definition, twice the frequency. However, this is where the simple definitions end. To hear sweet sounding chords, the frequencies of the notes should be such that that their component harmonics coincide frequently. However, it turns out that by simply choosing equally spaced frequency differences between every note in the scale, we end up with out of tune intervals (such as major thirds, minor thirds, perfect fifths, etc). This is the best overall compromise that can be done on an instrument such as the piano, which must play in any key. However, this paper by Graham Whyte (presented at the Over the Water festival in 2002) and hosted by luthier Chris Allen argues that the fact the gurdy generally only plays in a few keys allows it to be tuned in the just temperament, giving much sweeter sounding intervals. An interesting read and useful advice for someone adjusting their tangents.
Download the paper here.
Yet another guide to applying cotton on the strings of the gurdy. This time a step-by-step photographic guide by German luthier Helmut Gotschy. Read more here.
Jon Steel has published a handy overview of the correct tunings of the G/C and D/G hurdy-gurdies and the corresponding notes on the keyboard. See here.

This term is generally associated with 'classical' electroacoustic composition that privileges the notion of 'material', which is investigated and developed during the compositional process in the studio. In this context Sound Source simply refers to the physical provenance of such material, for example a vibrating body recorded in the studio, an environmental recording, or a synthesiser output. It can also refer to the basic structuring units in a given compositional conception or strategy, for example sonic grains or vowels and consonants extracted from speech.
