Does anybody know anything about the HGs made by Helmut Seibert? There are some interesting models shown on his website. They look really good, but how do they sound and how do they play?

I think I may have been one of Helmuts first customers outside of Germany, looking for a budget HG I chanced upon Helmuts website and thought wow these are different, most other sites I found made copies of French style luteback and guitar shaped HGs some offering a teardrop style budget model. After a little deliberation I ordered his Pilgerleier model, Helmut sent me photo's of the building progress which is a nice touch and keeps one excited about the prospect of finally becoming a HG owner/player! When my Pilgerleier arrived, it played strait out of the packaging and despite being shipped from Germany to England was still in tune & what wonderful workmanship, wherever I go with it, it attracts a grate deal of attention [ever from other players]. I would whole heartedly recommend Helmuts craftsmanship & commend him on his flair for innovative experimental design's.

Several friends of the Pilgerleier.
