Hi John,
These models will be available for sale in October.

I just found out about the Hurdy Gurdy project and can’t wait for them to be on sale! Had I known earlier, I definitely would have contributed to the Kickstarter campaign! Any idea, roughly, when they’ll be available? Also, on the Kickstarter page, there was an awesome looking puzzle box. Hopefully that becomes a reality in the near future as well!
