Hi Magnus, I love this Polska! But I think I still need a couple of years to play it as well. Is there any sheet msuic? Would be a great help.

[niure86]

@JorgeBurner The tune is collected from the notebook of Sven Donat. He was a corporal and musician who lived 1755-1815 in Småland, a historical province in southern Sweden.

The whole notebook can be found online. If you want this specific song, google "Polska efter Sven Donat (MA5 40)". The first hit will be folkwiki.se, there you have notes and midi. Good luck!

@niure86 I was looking for this but couldnt find it. Thanks =)

[andlof3]

Fint, fraserat och kraftfullt spel Magnus! Gillar...

@didiernyckelharpa; Hello Didier :) Thanks!

[GroovyGuitar02]

awesome stuff . You deserve more views , man !

[Maatdrummer1]

Cool instrument. And beautifully played. I hate to be negative, but the key clicking is somewhat annoying. Nature of the beast, I guess.

[odahijo]

hi, is it possible to obtain a black (color) nyckelharpa ? ? ?

where can i find a constructor to make me a black one ?

[twdr]

@odahijo; If you order direct from the constructor, you probobly can choose to have it in black. For me, its the sound, and how it works that is most importent...

[odahijo]

@twdr ty for the info . . .

so, can u suggest me a constructor ? ?

i'm taking this seriously (i'm about to go to Sweden this summer)

[unciaofsnow]

Working with this for over a month now, finally coming together! Hoping this will take me to ethno or korrö-festival-camp :)

[mvdamme]

Perhaps I missed it or is my Swedish not good enough, but who made your nyckelharpa?

[twdr]

@mvdamme

That nyckelharpa in the video is made by Per Ahlander, Umeå (He only builded one instrument!). But now I play on a Esbjörn Hogmark-harpa.

[53iruka]

The diversity of the nyckelharpa will replace the hurdy gurdy, quite a crude drone instrument of the past. The present and future belong to the nyckelharpa, regardless where it is being made - Sweden's great contribution to the European music world.

@53iruka

danke für die addy :)

[korvenator]

I never thought of nyckelharpa as a particularly passionate instrument, but this man gets such emotional power out of his instrument. Brilliant. Never heard another harpa player like him.

[JorgeBurner]

great!

[MarkHarmer]

What fantastic performance - not just the music, but the stage presence and the sense of pure joy. Bravo!!

[silvertownexpress]

Meravellós!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WhiteZombie87]

wow toll, ist bestimmt kompliziert und schwer sowas zu spielen

[53iruka]

@WhiteZombie87

gar nicht, man muss nur fleissig üben. Dafür gibt es Burg Fürsteneck in Eiterfeld zwischen Bad Hersfeld und Hünfeld - d.h. Hess. Rhön, die Adresse für die Nyckelharpa. Ernsthaft.

[niclashbg]

grymt bra ! har alltid gillat nyckelharpa, fick även reda på att en släkting till mig som jag aldrig har träffat skapar egna nyckelharpor. alltid kul att få reda på sånt !

[PlanetHell92]

This was really awesome! Väldigt bra spelat! Älskar ljudet från Nyckelharpor.

[wukangmin]

wow, so amazing.

[Mikkysixx]

Fantastisk!

[twdr]

Tack så mycket :)

[odahijo]

hi! I am from Greece...

I don;t think there is here any teacher of that instrument...

and I want to learn to play Nyckelharpa....

what should I do then ?

can anyone help me ?

[MoonEyes2k]

My suggestion would be to check for nyckelharpa in state music schools, if there is such a thing. Also eBay and similar. If there is anyone selling one, perhaps they know where to learn how to play.

[53iruka]

@odahijo

You can undergo a training either in Forimpopoli, Italy; Burg Fuersteneck in Germany or Tobo in Sweden

[twdr]

@53iruka

I am educated in Tobo, at Eric Sahlström Institute, and Royal College of Music, in Stockholm.

[Alosnup]

It's really a pleasure.

[nilsge65]

Härlig polskekänsla!

[michaeljohns78]

what kind of instrument is that? it's so beautiful :)

[twdr]

Thanks. It´s a swedish instrument called Nyckelharpa (keyfiddle)

[Eruvaer]

Mycket vackert!

Kan man få köpa noter av dig och på så vis själv slippa veckor av slit och gissningar?

[Kullis]

Ah, musik av min förfader. Great!

[isabellanakahara]

Is it possible to buy music for this piece?

[isabellanakahara]

The sun is coming up, I'm going for my second cup of tea and another repeat of your very beautiful video!That is such an incredibly beautiful piece!

[isabellanakahara]

That was an absolutely stellar, very exciting and moving performance!!! Wow! Thank you so much!

[twdr]

Thank you for listening and for the nice words :)

[davellewellynr]

Man you are rockin!

[tubeleonardo]

love it

[violaguy312]

Wait, so is this a folk tune, or is it a classicized polka? It sounds a lot like Bach.

Regardless, incredible performance. :)

[twdr]

Thank you wery much :)

Yep, this is a swedish folktune, but, Sven Donat (the composer)must have liked Bach ;) And its a polska (3/4 beat).

[blackbeardmorris]

Wow. You are really good. That must have taken a lot of practice to memorize.

[twdr]

Thanks. Much sparetime and a lot of lucky guessing, is the keyword ;) Other than that, as you wrote, a lot of practice. I learned this tune by ear. The tune is from the other half of the 18:th century. A swedish folktune a´la barock..ish..

[blackbeardmorris]

Wow. It's even cooler when you can learn something by ear

[Poodlepups]

a complete joy to hear this.

[twdr]

Thanks :)

[peej216]

this is just amazing there is nothing else to say about it !!!

[katsomikawashima]

love it

[estebanbolado]

Please.

¿Luthier Nyckelarpa?

Muchas gracias.

Esteban

[tangograss]

Wonderful Playing! And ever so inspiring.

[twdr]

Thanks for the nice words.

[scandance]

Thank you Magnus for inspiring me to learn to play the nyckelharpa (at Mendocino Scandia, the candlelight concert specifically). I love it, even though I don't sound at all like you!

Sonia

[twdr]

Hello Sonia!

Thanks for the nice comment. It was a great week in Mendocino. It would be great to visit again.

Mycket vackert och virtuost, tack!

[Lidskjalf]

Fantastiskt!

[090513102]

Vet du om det finns att få tag på noterna till den här låten någonstans?

[twdr]

Tackar :) Det är en polska efter Sven Donat.. runt 1700-tal... Jag har lärt mig den av Johan Hedin

[evachinoy]

Beautiful!

[090513102]

Så det finns fler Nyckelharpa byggare här i Umeå än min mentor Enar Magnusson:) Jag bygger själv en harpa med hansa hjälp eftersom hans erfarenhet behövs när jag bar är 15 år gammal:)

[twdr]

Tack :)

Det är Per Ahlander, från Umeå, som byggt denna harpa. Har haft den sen 1988.

[090513102]

JAg beundrar verkligen ditt spel. Vem är det som har byggt di nyckelharpa?
