1:50 Gånglåt från Äppelbo :D I know how to play it, but on a regular violin

I'd like He to plays "Mats Gard" with the Nyckelharpa.

@luxiana89 Geez, now I REALLY want to track this guy down.. Still haven't been by the Signal Hill Bluegrass Soup Jam but/and if you're in the Long Beach, CA area early Feb, Christian Howes (jazz violinist) will be playing with TED Bluegrass (Tom, Evan, Don - this was filmed at Don's huge warehouse).

Again, BlueTuesdays (com ) is the shortcut to the specifics for the Jam... If I see him, I'll have to bring up this vid on my iPhone and show him your request, then videotape it for you!

@ThePrimeSpotcom Thank you so much , you're very kind. Mats Gard is a very special song for me. Unfortunately I'm in Peru and it's going to be a little bit difficult (impossible) to be in California, but thanks :D

You played very well! Great to se a keyed fiddle in a bluegeass context, must have been very interesting to hear. From the symbol on the head (?) of the nyckelharpa I can tell it's made where I live, in Uppsala (or at least in the vincinty), pretty cool that it has made it across the ocean!

@1891serru  Thanks for the info! If you ever come to Long Beach, CA, take the "virtual tour" of The LBC by visiting ThePrimeSpot.TV ;)

What is the name of the maker of this harpa?

[ThePrimeSpotcom]

@alltubez According to the latest post, it was made in Uppsala, Sweden. I haven't been back to "BlueTuesdays" to find out more byt google can prob help you..

That nyckelharpa was incredible, I've never seen such an amazing musical instrument. Part fiddle, part guitar and part harpsichord---it just boggles the mind. That was quite a coup recording something that unique. Paul's quite an artist. Keep on recording those amazing moments in that wonderful HD!
