Craft Bass Talharpa Tune Ar Var Alda 

Thanks, in fact it was not done very neatly)

thank you, but this is a hard musical instrument for me)

Greetings

thank you)

Hello! I used simple hand tools like chisels and such.

Greetings from Russia! Main body made of spruce board, thin plywood, plate 2-3 mm approx. Making a plywood plate is wrong, but I didn't give a damn, I did what was available to me. It is recommended to make a veneer plate. Thanks for the comment!

Yes, this is reverberation, I did not record for an example of the sound that would sell. I just wanted to show a beautiful sound and game). The powerful sound is due to the steel strings from the cello. I like classical alto talharps, I don't like bass talharps , they all sound too slow and heavy , unmelodic

​@@NicolaeRollinthat bass talharp sound reminds me one of Tuva throat singing styles, the deep and slow one - homey. So it could probably complement one another.

Hello. I think the optimal board thickness is 1.7 - 2 inches. I make it whole, because it seems authentic to me, but I don’t know what sounds better glued or whole

Thank you! All the engravings was made using a cheap "woodburner"(it is an electric pensiishl tool with red hot tip)

I used a regular cello steel strings set.

me too. facebook.com/groups/458771167542016 is good, but provides no exact informations

The dimensions are 100x19x5 mm. The string length is about 70mm. As far as I know there is no any standarts for the dimensions or a scale length. I don't think that there is a practice of useing a nut near the tuners on that type of musical instrumetns. I hope my reply was helpful.

Greetings from Mother Russia! It took about two weeks to make this one.

Are you doint commissions ? Cause this sounds and looks damn juicy man. I already have a great sounding bass talharpa , but im interested ! Just let me know 👍 and btw. Its not just the tone , dig your way of playing ot to. Hails

I have to add another question ;) whats your mic ?

@@iheliocrati9527 mic - BM- 800 from China), I record tracks on it nicolaerollin.bandcamp.com/track/forni mic does its job, although cheap

@@iheliocrati9527 did not understand about commissions?

thank you for such a high rating

I would have sent it, but it is really sloppy and not worth it). And I am still making a new bass. There is only a talharpa alto on sale

yes, there are two bass talharps in the process now

improvisation, everything is approximately, did it intuitively

no manufacturing standards, these are folk instruments, cut out the shape, hollow out the resonator cavity, cut out the deck with holes and glue it, sand for a long time

some photo materials on my instagram. yes, in general, there is a lot of information everywhere instagram.com/collinrollin/ instagram.com/p/B-nNeVJICu1/

На этой конкретно басовой тальхарпы стоят стальные струны от виолончели, но можно поставить из лески, скручиватт так же как конский, может лучше будет строить. А так то да некоторые строи тяжело натянуть, особенно из конского волоса, то рвётся, волос, то расстраивается сползает, надо искать варианты с компромисс между строем и силой натяжения подходящего материалу струны

I used a regular cello steel strings set. Nothing fancy.

@@NicolaeRollinwhat size for cello string? Nice playing btw 🎉
