my pick of choice! though I should mention that mine have warped in a weird way. but I love the smooth edge they have. I think I've only lost one in the past 5 years !!!
But none of the experts seem to know anything about it. And I never saw hurdy hurdy as a part of serious medieval music performance practice
Having no phases would be a bad sign. Same here, except for me a phase takes 10 or more years :-)
