So warm music
Greetings from Lebanon 🇱🇧
I already came back to listen to this multiple times! So nice!
So glad to hear that =)
Somehow this tune stick in your ears! Romantic and nostalgic
Sounds great, very haunting. 🙂
lovely!
"Wow", That's amazing. Love it.... Medieval sounding.
Love the tuning, every measure a surprise. More please!
Hehe it was such an interesting tuning !
Love it❤
Its nice to hear first thing in the morning... or afternoon cause I tend to sleep in late on weekends. I am glad you home safe from your trip. I would love to hear about it.
cool melody!!!
¡Muy linda! ¡Bravo!
Splendid! Bravo!
I just commissioned a Nyckelharpa, my first ever, and it should be here next year (wait list). I am so excited and hope to play a fraction as beautiful as this, some day!
Avkopplande musik!
Beautiful
Have a great New Year's ! / / thanks
OMG that is truly wonderful!
Will rewind to play along on my autoharp. _(Not just kidding!)_
I can't believe how much this sounds like bagpipes while sounding nothing at all like bagpipes. My brain is apparently confused by the drone tone🤷♂️🤦♂️😅 Great job regardless!! That's awesome!
Hehe drones go bwoooo and brain goes BAGPIPE
Nice piece! Sounds almost like a viola and cello playing together, or maybe just two cellos playing together. Bra! 👍
The ultimate bowed instrument goal : sounding like two instruments =D Thanks
There seems to be a piece of clothing caught on the tuning pegs. I used a spectrometer (Spectroid app) to view the frequencies of the notes played. Lots of drone strings apparent..
On the big pegs, it's the instrument's strap. On the finetuners, it's my braid.
Beautiful piece!
About the sweater maker: Nora B Kvam? Is this a real name? Like "bekväm"?
Hahaha yes it's a real name and a real person. The B stands for a name but it's common in Norway to only use the initial for the middle name.
It's tuned like a Greek bouzouki!
Ah interesting ! I didn't know =)
I was just about to say that! Yes, it is a modern Greek bouzouki tuning, same intervals as the 4 upper strings of a guitar one full step lower.
@@EmelieWaldken It's the same tuning as a Baritone Ukulele but a step down.
It's tuned like a Baritone Ukulele but a step lower
finally! the bowed member of the ukulele family with sympathetic strings we have waited for!
У нас в минувшину був подібний інструмент - колісна ліра...
I clearly understand that playing the nyckelharpa is a science of its own, but I've been trying to play the nyckelharpa for a while now but...
I can't get the same type of ''clarity'' as in this video 😕
I've replaced the strings and purchased a new bow, but I don't know if the resin-cake I have is out of date....
The resin block that came along the Harp I bought is old, like really, REALLY old.
Can I clean the bow somehow and apply new resin from a fresh resin block?
And by the way... That September tune sounds really good! I bet if Astrid Lindgren would still be alive she would definitely ask you to write music for her 😉
There are many, many factors at play for getting a clear/clean sound on nyckelharpa.
You got a good bow, that's GREAT and absolutely necessary =) Good strings are always a plus too. Then there's the quality of your nyckelharpa keyboard itself. So many nyckelharpas I try (even built by pros) have some keyboard problem, it's super common. And it can really muddle one's playing a heck lot.
And then there's your playing itself, which is "just" a question of time and practice and patience... there is no secret in the end, it's long and difficult, and progress can feel so damn slow. But it's still progress !
About rosin : It doesn't have that big of an impact, in my experience. Yes, better rosin is better, but makes less difference than bow or keyboard.
You can absolutely clean your bowhair (with alcohol, being careful not to get any on the wood, and then water and a bit of soap, then press in a towel gently and let airdry) and reapply better rosin (I love the Bernardel gold, but there are many good ones, basically any viola or cello rosin works and most of the violin's too).
And thank you for one of the most beautiful compliments I ever got on my compositions =)
@@EmelieWaldken Wow! I'm so sorry for not replying earlier!!! I didn't expect you to answer my comment! I feel so ashamed for not responding earlier😞
But thanks a lot any how! I really appreciate your advice! It is just I adore people like you who are still clinging on to old musical traditions. Well, music of old so to say🙂
Wait what CFAD? Please explain, I'm really curious!
Yes ! Instead of CGDA it's CFAD ! So the second string (usually D) is a fourth lower than usual and that poor first string (usually A) is a whole fifth down ^^
Do Fa La Ré ou Do Fa Ré La ?
Do Fa La Ré ! La première corde est une quinte plus basse que d'habitude !
@@EmelieWaldken Ah ouais okay j'ai compris ^^
Det där var bra, den där lite drönande tonen kliar en liksom lite inuti.
Haha vad bra ^^
Brzmi troche jak muzyka irlandzka😊
Hm, raczej szkocka, ja bym powiedzial. :P Dzwięk ogólnie jest bardzo podobny do dud, i rytm też nie jest tak żywotny/skoczny jak zazwyczaj u Irlandczyków.
