I love your passion!! It is great to see the acknowledgment of instruments from our past. Hope to see many others taking up another instruments that have all but been forgotten. Thank you for reminding use of so many beautiful music makers!
Tagelharpa is not a phase, because when you built it you PLAY IT! i made 9 of them in 4 years! for me its not a phase! ahah i made 3 Kravik lyres too, and the lyre from the Gunnar in the snake pit story from the sigurd story portal carvings! And i am not a musician! I just felt i needed one, and since it was not perfect i build an other one with a little change....and so on! Mostly because of Wardruna. this band changed my life. Anders Norudde is also a great inspiration, to see him make funny instrument got me why not try myself! You helped me try new tunings! And fuel interest in these even more! So thanks to all of you for making this strange musical journey my life.
I bought a moraharpa as a first step towards the nykkelharpa, since they’re so expensive, and moraharpas are much cheaper. I definitely don’t regret purchasing it, and intend to figure out how it was made to then build my own nykkelharpa
A lot of people took up the tagelharpa in the last few years. If they stick with it, I think a lot of great tagelharpa stuff will come out in two or three years
Picked it up myself earlier this year (3-stringed bass talharpa). I've been awestruck by how much the instrument resonates with me, although it shouldn't really have been a surprise given that I love music with drones. The whole having to vibe your way to the right (or at least right enough) notes is both fun and challenging, and I often find that I can be very satisfied with just playing around and figuring out where notes that will harmonise well are in relation to eachother. Can't wait until I can get my hands on ones with different scale lengths and amounts of strings! :D
I’m a banjo player from the states. Been learning a bit about these instruments… Im very interested in the simple construction of all these Scandinavian instruments. And yet the sound is so complex and the way of playing them is so unique compared to all the instruments im familiar with. I’m thinking of building one. Forgive me, but I can’t help it. The tagelharpa is definitely the instrument that caught my attention! Be easy on me folks. 3rd generation Scandinavian and American folk musician here.
@@EmelieWaldken As a two row player, I found your video hilarious. 😂 Tak! On a more serious note... Swedish blue scale on the button accordion has been accomplished! Jean has added the inside row to a two row in order to allow the in between notes (Such as C##) that can be heard here: www.youtube.com/@jean-pierreyvert There are many one row players who also tune their accordions for the blues. They can be found playing Cajun and Zydeco music in the US. Thanks for the laughter!
@@sixfeetback Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of these various systems to play blue notes on accordions ! And glad you found the vid funny despite roasting your instrument ;)
@@EmelieWaldken not an accordion player, but I play tagelharpa, jouhikko, kantele, jaw harp, seljefløyte and a few other instruments not mentioned in your video😂
Up for debate whether you consider Scandinavia as the peninsula, the historical/cultural region or the Nordic countries, including or not Finland then. I personally consider Finland to be Scandinavian, albeit on the edge of it, linguistically, culturally, etc.
@@EmelieWaldken Y a des suédophones en Finlande (qui parlent d'ailleurs un dialecte tout bizarre) donc bon... y a au moins leur région qui peut être considérée comme scandinave 😛
@@EmelieWaldken There seem to be a lot of non-scandinavians considering Finland scandinavian, but I have yet to meet a scandinavian considering Finland scandinavian.
Hahahaha don't ^^ Love the tagelharpa, we just have quite a wave of it these days and it's quite funny to bet on how many will still play it in 10 years ;)
But I do love the langeleik!!! And I love history, that does not make me .....old?? Well ok, I also love sixties rock and proud of it........OK, I may be old but I am fine with it!!🤣🤣🤣 And I also love my Dutch hommels.....bluh😜.
For some reason I took this video to heart and built a Moraharpa for school out of curiosity? Love you keep creating ✌️

I’m inspired
Finns will be in an uproar about the Accordions! 😂😂
They should seriously lay them down and pick up more fiddles and kanteles and jouhikkos, in my opinion =P
@@EmelieWaldken
Ever heard Säkkijärven polkka? It is played with accordeon.
@@EmelieWaldkentry playing anything polyphonic that isn't drone music using a fiddle
Well Finns aren’t Scandinavians so doesn’t matter.

It's a good strategy !
That was fun!

Tbh I really hope so, because I love that instrument (and the jouhikko) !

Bought one a year ago after listening to some songs by Wardruna and falling in love with the sound.
Still have to learn playing it...

I mean, we all know that the best folk instrument period is the famed vocal tract. Just look at how many cool sounds it can make!
Okay, that's very true in a way - but I also love other instruments !
I never thought I would see a meme I can relate too this much
Chill indeed, while (almost) everyone else is complaining about the noise!
...and then there are the not-pipers-but-weirdos like me who just love it without even playing it ^^
Moraharpa forever

my answer is yes
Accordion is best. Nobody can persuade me to think otherwise.
Show me your best blue scale then 🙃
@@EmelieWaldken ok now you've got me

i like the goofability of accordions, how am i to move with funk holding a bow instrument
I just wanted to know what my favorite folk instrument said about me, I didn’t ask to be attacked like this😭

NOOO Hurdy Gurdy ! You know it's true !
We do have a Swedish gurdy model, but it's not really like it's a Scandi instrument for me... that's why I didn't include it. But I LOVE gurdy !

Hurdy Gurdy???
Kontrabasharpa, the queen of drone instruments is missing! ❤
I won't pick a fight against the pipers and the gurdists on that one ;) but I agree, it is missing !
Kantele does not belong to Scandi instruments since Finland is not part of the Scandinavia.
