Tagelharpa practice - Calabrian Tarantella july 2011

This is a Calabrian Tarantella I am practicing on my tagelharpa. Please excuse my poor intonation- in this video I've only been playing for 7 months and it's not an easy instrument. There is no fingerboard, you fret the strings in mid air with your knuckles. The 3 strings are made from twisted strands of horsehair, and played with a horsehair bow. I am tuned here, from top to bottom string, F A# D#, and am playing in the key of D sharp (- I guess! lol! )
