Can't answer you there, but I just read on <sharp intake of breath> another website that amongst the traditional instrumentation of Polish folk music are such instruments as dulcimers and hurdy-gurdies. It's not every day you see examples of these. Or is it?

URL
Click on the artist profiles and I think there are a few MP3 files to listen to.
edit: Yes there are, but I think they want you to buy the CDs. I like the song on the page I've linked to above. Others may be in other styles, but I am yet to investigate further.

Perhaps a few searches on youtube might yield something.

try
Warsaw Village Band
saw them on the Beeb a bit back, young Poles (obviously) trying to keep up the dying azovian olk music,with a bit of gorale thrown in.
( Dulcimer,probably imported by jewish musicians/gypsy musicians from the balkans)

You can't beat a bit of dulcimer. The hurdy-gurdy is more than just a funny name.
And yes, the Warsaw Village Band have one and I'm strangely jealous.
Click on that URL in my last post and you can find them.
