You think I play too slow ? Wait for it...
Possibly the hardest tunes I've ever played on nyckelharpa, a tempo at least. These jumps and crossed fingerings are madness. LOTS of practice - and hours of bad takes for one good video. But oh so much fun and satisfaction in the end ! Hope you like it.

Nyckelharpa built by Jean-Claude Condi (FR) with an extended "Billy" keyboard making these tunes possible on the instrument, no doubt.

I defy anybody to hear a Reel played well (as you have here), and not tap their feet to it! When I need something to get me moving on a sluggish day, I will come back to this 🙂

I got to visit Dunoon, Scotland back in the late 70's and early 80's when I was in the Navy and would have liked to have listened to the Nyckelharpa while there, but alas....

Not sure of the origans of these tunes but what I can tell you is that they are widely played in Irish traditional music circles. Really well played.

It is safe to ensure that a tune has enough origano.

Great tunes and nicely played. I’ve never complained about speed and never will. If a tune is good it will sound good played slow or fast. I listened yesterday with my lovely 4 year old daughter bouncing around then it was over and an old recording of yours came up. I think it was the first of your recordings I had listened too. Tam Lin was the last tune.

This is a masterful performance! I'd love to hear you play this music as a duet with a fiddle, including both melody played in unison and harmonies.

Quel magie ces morceaux. Ils portent, on se laisse porter. Je me demandais, apparemment surtout la partie du clavier vers les clés semble utilisée en général. Sur ce morceau, il, y a des incursions dans les aigus avec la partie basse du clavier. Le son semble avoir un registre différent, interressant, peut être même plus riche ? En tout cas je me suis demandé si des morceaux exploitaient un jeux utilisant la partie basse du clavier ou une tessiture très large par exemple pour utiliser toute la possibilité de l'instrument voire l'explorer ? En tout cas très sympa ce morceau 😍

La plupart des nyckelharpas n'ont pas de touches plus haut que la position de base, sauf sur la corde la plus aiguë (de La) pour pouvoir jouer à la même hauteur que les violons. Mais la mienne a un clavier étendu, réalisé par Jean-Claude Condi (le clavier "Billy") qui a beaucoup de touches supplémentaires. Elles sont plus difficiles à jouer que les touches basses car le son est moins clair et elles ont moins de pression. Mais pour certains morceaux "qui grimpent", comme ces deux-là, elles sont très utiles ! Et en effet, le son est assez différent !

@@EmelieWaldken ahhhhh ceci explique cela ! Quel instrument du coup ! Cela semblerait ouvrir des possibilités nouvelles pour un compositeur alors, en tout cas sur le papier. Belle journée, bons airs 😊

@francoisbruel9163 Ай бұрын

It is my understanding that the origin of this instrument's name was because Harpo never had a nickel to his name, but then again I might be mistaken.

This is now canon.
