Riksspelmannen (Fiddler of the Realm) Leif Alpsjö plays the traditional non-chromatic swedish Nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle) known as the Silverbasharpa, used during the latter part of the 18th Century and throughout the 19th Century up untill late 1920's. This specific Silverbasharpa (owned by me) was built in the early 1980's by Ingvar Jörpeland, another Riksspelman.

  • om det är någon som tycker det låter annorlunda så är det för att det är en gammelharpa. den äldre modellen av nyckelharpan.

  • If you like this...try finding some recordings by Vasen!

  • I love this video! :-D

  • I played this in my music class for a report on the instruments of Sweden!. Thanks mang!

  • Previous comment was clearly made by someone who is not a musician - perhaps a big fan of The Spice Girls! :-)

    The nyckelharpa is a truly amazing instrument with a wonderful sound.

    It is fantastic that it is being played & preserved for future generations to enjoy.

    Thanks for posting this JonasA
