Halling From Härjedalen

This is a halling from Härjedalen adopted from Per Myhr (1843-1945). I play it on the spilåpipa (a type of Swedish herding flute). The spilåpipa have 7 or 8 finger holes, but no hole for the thumb. Halling is a type of tune that accompanies the dance with the same name. A very acrobatic dance indeed. It´s danced manily in Norway, but is also danced is some parts of Sweden.

A demonstration how halling dance can look like can be found here:

Djurapipa menade jag självfallet....

[FredFredrik]

Djurapipa, helt riktigt, hade helt glömt bort att just den här modellen kallades så. Skalan på min pipa är(låg till hög):D,E,F#,G,A,Bb,C,D (jag kan överblåsa samma skala en oktav upp). Jag har älvdalspipan med. Har i princip samma skala, men den är skalan är i Bb för den är gjort efter en orginal pipa. Mera lämptat för solospel än för samspel.

Yep, the Swedish bagpipe is a crazy cool instrument. Definitely worth saving up for. It's size and mellow sound makes it a real crowd pleaser.....

Hey :) where can i buy a spilåpipa like yours? :)

[MorkaGraven]

Seems like it's not just italy who build wonky buildings. They're just more well known for it.

Áwesome tune! Im searching online about where to buy a spilapipa - but I cant find it - maybe u have a good searchterm for me? I dont know swedish - and spilapipa without the o on the A doesnt give any results .

I just LOVE the sound of that flute. So please tell me where to look for one.
