The nyckelharpa is a bowed instrument, originally built and played in Sweden. Dating back to the seventeenth century, but it is still very common in traditional Swedish folk music

Unbelievable! At first sight, I believe there is an incredible tension on the strings and over the body of this marvel. The lower bridge is soooo strong. Fascinating.

@felicegreece OK. If one has the talent and ability to learn string fingering (which after 77 years, I do not), then perhaps this woukd seem silly to you, especially if you can play a stringed instrument. However, comma, this application would make it easier for a keyboard artist to scratch out a melody on a fiddle. I can play the Hell out of 'most any keyboard from a 7 manual organ (Think Atlantic City - I've played it) through pianos, accordions and melodicas. But something that needs bowing, blowing or stumming? Nope.

The sight of this instrument caused me to click on this video, and I was not disappointed ... how lovely a sound for this chaconne ... as a pianist who played violin for a little while, I would consider this as the perfect compromise!

Chaconne in D minor is arguably one of the most complex and hard to play of Bach's violin partitas - on the violin for which it is originally written, it is hard and virtuosic enough - and yet you, sir, play it on the nyckleharp with such great nuance and ability! It is a flawless interpretation from a musician of great ability!

I had never heard this instrument, one that gives orchestral heft to the pith of a solo violin. This is one of the most impressive performaces that I have ever heard of the Chaconne, a moement that usually puts a violin to its limit. Add to this it seems effortless. Should I be called to the orchesta of angels (I'm 68 and I know the nath and biology all too well for my comfort) then this is the instrument that I want to play.
@Fliegenpilzkonsument29 күн бұрын
What a cool instrument! It seems to have the same principle as the Hurdy Gurdy, with the exception that the player is bowing the strings himself instead of turning a crank... It even sounds very similar because of the clacking and shifting of the fretting mechanism. And, I must say, beautifully played!

The nyckelharpa, with it's somewhat rough aspect and sound enhances the beautifully emotional side of Bach's chaconne. It's a bit as if the nyckelharpa was a blend between a violin and an organ, both instruments well known to Bach. Nice performance.

This is a great example of the kind of popular music that must’ve been circulating around in the Early Baroque; in the cafes, the salons. You know, where the Regular Folks would hang. Even though this piece obviously wasn’t written for “Bowed Nickelharpa”, it works So Well it’s easy to imagine that’s what it was originally scored for. For some reason it makes me wonder what sort of stuff JSB would come up with when he was just Fooling Around. Excellent Rendition ! 👍🏼

I was a little surprised, although pleased, when I discovered this video since I had independently come up with a design for an instrument which is very similar to the nyckelharpa in concept, although not so much in design. Still, it's likely that my design would have evolved into something very similar, given the practicalities of the concept. It's actually a bit of a relief to know that this instrument exists and I don't need to work so hard to develop my idea since it wouldn't add as much as I originally thought it might to the musical landscape. For reference, my design was more like a crossover between the nyckelharpa and a hurdi-gurdi, but with independent wheels for each string and with the wheels moved against each string - or vice-versa - by the pressing of a key for that string. This would have allowed the strings on my instrument to be plucked as well as vibrated, giving two independent sounds for the same instrument. It would also have had more strings, possibly with some dedicated to the "plucked" sound and some dedicated to the "vibrated" sound. Lastly, the keys would have been double-action with one action being momentary and the other being locked in place, so that some strings could be "droned" like on a hurdi-gurdi.
