Ulricus + Haderslev-Hummel - 2

Annother sound from a more than 200 years old instrument. This is called "Friesische Hummel" . This sort of instruments was built along the coastal area of the North Sea. (not UK) The instrument was fixed with clamps to avoid string tension on the corpus. The fret system sounds a little bit rustic. Frets were set by trial and error in those old days.

Ein sehr schöne, tiefe Klang! Die verschiedene Klangeigenschaften der Hummeln hören nicht auf, mich zu faszinieren.

Since 100 years there are no old guys in Friesland playing the Hummel!
What a pity !

This is a German instrument. Originally it comes from Elmshorn near Hamburg. The Flensburg-Museum changed it with a renaissance carpet from Haderslev-Museum (Denmark) in 1906.

Do you know of any local players still alive in the Friesland region? Very old guys, if there are any left... Thanks!

Nein, Die Hummel kommt vom mittelalterlichen mitteleuropäischen Monochord.Die Nachfolgeinstrumente sind im kleineren alpenländischen Format die Konzertzithern.
Der immer wieder behauptete westasiatische Ursprung ist schlicht Unsinn!
Die Gitarre kommt einen anderen Weg: Arabien -Spanien
