While studying up on the #nyckelharpa as the glue dries I found mention of the #tagelharpa This looks like a good cigar box build candidate. 3 or 4 strings, no frets, drones ahoy, and a bow. Yep, it's going to fit right in with my other builds. First though...finish what's on the workbench.

And so we begin. #Nyckelharpa time...break it down. Getting the mise en place in its places, going thru the build in stages, dry fit, for reals fit...the days roll into nights and the week or so down the line until we bow our way into the first scratchy notes of beginning. #nerdygurdy #nerdyharpa #onward

🎻 Spring Tunes: Three Inspiring Music Courses I Attended This Season
This spring was filled with music, learning, and connection. I had the opportunity to participate in three wonderful music courses, each offering something unique—new styles, deeper technique, and a strong sense of community. Here is a look back at these inspiring experiences. 🎶 1. Fiddlers on the Move – Ghent (5–9 March) Photo: Filip Verpoest In early March, I joined Fiddlers on the Move in Ghent, a five-day course packed with workshops led by musicians from all over the world.

Spent a beautiful weekend in Northern Germany at Nyckelharpawochenende Nord with Esbjörn Hazelius and Johan Hedin! I love how in the folk music world you can meet absolute legends, learn from them, have coffee in the sun and play together with them ☀️
These weekends are always a total love fest, a meeting of old and new friends, filled with nyckelharpa and music nerdery, inspiration and encouragement, jam sessions until well past midnight and in depth workshops with the most down to earth folk music legends you can imagine - join, if you can! 💓

Thanks to the amazing #NerdyGurdy I am now awaiting a kit to build a Nerdyharpa , the Nyckelharpa of note in our era. What tha what? This vid is a great look at the instrument.
If you want to build your own, or if you want to build a Hurdy Gurdy, you should check this website every Sunday at 2030 CET

Recorded some nyckelharpa in the studio today for an educational production! It makes me very happy to know that some children will be exposed to the sound of my instrument and playing at school! Hooray for people making great teaching resources and great teachers using them in their lessons! 🎶 📚

it just dawned on my that it was #WorldNyckelharpaDay yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tYdUi6rarM #scandi #folk #nyckelharpa
A lesson in slowness and carefulness. You alone decide if and when you want to come out of your shell 🐌
Here is a tune I composed about the beautiful things that stay hidden, played together with my dearest duo partner Björn. I named it "Schneckenhaus" which means "snail shell":

Gave a concert with my duo Akleja yesterday evening very locally, only a one hour drive from home - which means I was able to spend some time in my garden before heading out! This is the life, folks! I love playing local gigs, what a dream ❤️
Wishing you a good weekend and that you can make some time to listen to a piece of music in silence, go for a walk and smell some flowers 🌟🌷

Rob Scallon som har bland annat gjort videor där han spelar hårdrock på ovanliga instrument har gjort en video om #nyckelharpa. Rekommenderad för den som vill lyssna på två personer prata i 25 minut om vilket coolt instrument det är (ingen hårdrock dock).
Nyckelharpa (16 strings, 39 keys)

Some scenes from a birthday party for celtic multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer Steafan Hannigan's birthday - accompanied by a track from my album played by him and his violinist wife Saskia Tomkins.
Et voici les dates des concerts où vous pourrez retrouver #vóden ce mois d'avril!

Passing on knowledge about my instrument and spreading my favorite tunes is a big passion of mine - and a very important part of what it means to me to be a FOLK musician. It's about sharing and spreading joy, lifting each other up, nerding around and just having an overall fantastic time together 🎉
So here's a little info about where me and my partner Björn will be teaching workshops in 2025 (only in Germany this time). Some are nyckelharpa workshops, some are open to all instruments. I'm also always available for private nyckelharpa lessons online, just so you know! 🍀
