Trish Lipscomb ~ Chris Allen and Sabina Kormylo
Trish Lipscomb holds her custom made hurdy gurdy with inlaid ebony and mother of pearl decoration. As a cat lover, Trish asked luthiers Chris Allen and Sabina Kormylo to make a Colson copy instrument decorated with a cat and mouse theme. The instrument is in G/C tuning with a third chanterelle added in D. It is fitted with geared pegs and has a trompette capo to enable rapid and accurate changing from G to C tuning. Trish created the carved cat head on the peghead which was then copied onto the instrument.
