Hi Sarah
I used the past tense only in relation to the Scottish musical scene. There are some excellent luthiers in Scotland but, to the best of my knowledge, no-one still makes Hurdy-Gurdys.
I like the sound it makes and it gives a good accompaniment to the voice.
It is a bit like the Combolins the Corries used to use for Scottish music.
