Tagelharpa, Nordic Middle-age(maybe viking age) instrument.

Nordic Middle-age(maybe viking age) instrument.

Its like a lyre, with 4strings, and with a bow you use to play with.
Its pretty much like a viking lyre, the bow was used in early middleages, they are not sure if the vikings used it aswell but its likely they did.

Fantastisk video! Tusen takk for at du lastet! Veldig lærerikt for en som meg, som har tenkt å forsøke å bygge en :)

bare hyggelig ^^ var et klipp jeg kom helt tilfeldig over på internett et sted.

Har lyst å lage meg ei lyre jeg også, men vet ikke helt hvordan enda hehe.

Koster jo flesk å kjøpe de så lønner seg absolutt å lage selv.

Do you know what the strings are tuned to?

The vikings invented many things. Even board games that are used today...

At 0:55 did he say something like "I don't know exactly how one played it in the viking age but I do it by putting my hands here..." ? Han prata för snabbt och min svenska är inte tillräckligt bra för att förstå den. Kanska kan någon översätta den för oss som kan inga nordiska språken? Tack

the stick= a bow. Its called tagelharpa because its of horse hairs(the strings).

They dont know if the vikings used the bow, but they have founds of it from early middleage so it is likely that it was used in the end of the viking age(1000-1066) some places at least.
