[Santa Cruz Celtic Slow Sessions] Hurry-gurdy instructor?

[ptommerup at juno.com]

Michael Hubbert who now lives in Booneville, CA I believe (not too far away) is a wonderful luthier & musician. For 20 or so years he made much sought after hurdy gurdies, played them & probably taught others to play it too. More recently, he now makes much sought after Uilleann Pipes & plays & teaches them. I first met him when he was a luthier making gorgeous custom dulcimers at CapriTaurus Dulcimers in Felton, CA back in the 1970's. He also plays dulcimer beautifully & taught dulcimer lessons there. I tremendously enjoyed working with Michael Hubbert to learn to play Irish fiddle tunes in a complex style up to tempo on the dulcimer (which he helped to originate). What I learned from him has helped me to enjoy playing in experienced Irish sessions for decades!  Contact info for Michael Hubbert:  Michael Hubbert: 707-357-0310hubberts at mcn.org

Hi, all. 

I know someone in Placerville who has recently acquires a hurdy-gurdy and is looking for a teacher. She would prefer in-person, but on-line is OK, too. I know we have some nyckelharpa players here as well. Can anyone help? We don't get a lot of opportunities to hear a new hurdy-gurdy player and I'd really like to help her. 

Thanks, everyone!

-Tom
