OT-anyone play the nyckelharpa?

yo that is such a hot instrument. does anyone play it here?

Don’t they look like a three-vehicle collision between an autoharp, a fiddle, and a mountain dulcimer?

I’m not sure how many you’ll find here on the whistle board, but you may find a SweTrad player or two on the ITrad forum, and there may be a Swedish piper on the U-pipe forum.

SweTrad makes for some fun listening, too! :smiley:

No, but i play the fujara!

And I, the fujkygruber!

PS: the Nyckthammer (NTM) is very popular with French teens.

Nyckelharpar are way cool. I’d like to get one some day.

I do, although it´s been out of comission for a couple of years. Had a slight accident with it and haven´t gotten around to getting it fixed.

Well, I have one and I suppose I could play on it, but I don’t since I’ve got no time for it.

No I dont play Nyckelharpa or Moraharpa but have some friends that do.

Here is a good semi-english link

Nyckelharpa

You can also check out some of Peter Hedlunds instruction videos (Scoiltrad for Nyckelharpa) at http://www.tvfolk.net (in the Swedish section. You will also find some more Nyckelharpa clips if you browse the Swedish and Norwegien sections

And don’t miss this amazing flute playing by Göran Månsson while you’re there.


Cheers!

Cool pages, Marcus. It looks like a hurdy-gurdy with a bow instead of a rosin wheel.
