A super cool polska from Östergötland after a legendary fiddler named Pelle Fors (1815 - 1908). This polska have also been recorded by the amazing and ground breaking Swedish folk music group Hedningarna. The tune also goes under the name svanpolska (the swan polska).

  • Cool. Where do you get these wierd instruments? ^.^

  • Thanks for the comment!

    Sometimes from instrument makers. Sometimes online. Sometimes from music stores. Sometimes from odd stores that carry some weird flute or something in the back of their store.....LOL!

    I've been collecting since like 1996.....

  • Bouzouki yes??

    What tunin did you have this Bouzouki in??

    Simply AMAZING!! Remarkable!!

    You should put up a video to teach this peice of music, it's amazing!! Iontach mhaith!!

  • It's a octave mandolin, and I have it tuned to G,D,g,d at the moment. If I had the bouzouki (the Irish model) I would tune it A,D,a,d to fit with the type of folk tunes I play.

    Thanks for enjoying the tunes and the music!!

  • Riktig bra spilt! Danselåter passer perfekt til mandola, instrumentet skaper en fantastisk stemning. Herlig stamping med foten óg :D

  • Häftigt, riktigt cool låt. Skulle också vilja ha en mandola, har fått tag på en liten mandolin som jag försöker spela på ibland. Men mandola, eller är det en otav mandolin? låter ju så mycket grymmare. Gillar din spelstil där strängarna ringer med som borduner.

  • Wow! Bravo!

    Can this be played on a guitar? Is there tabs anywhere for it? Polska efter pelle fors is one of my favorite tunes.

  • Are there any tabs on the internet?

  • Great tune and great playing!

    Trinity College makes wonderful instruments.

  • Where do you find sources for these tunes? I learned the 2 Slangpolskas(Juringius and Brun) AWESOME. You actually inspired me to stop playing in standard fiddle tuning also. Thanks FF.

  • And another nice one - should try some swedish folk myself. Thanks for the inspiration :-)

  • BRÖÖÖL!!!
