great stuff! What did you use for the soundboard? And can you provide the thing you used to cut the design of the body? (not sure what that's called)

@robabnawaz 2 года назад

The decoration you made is superb, is it simply spruce wood?

@TheVikingWoodsmith 2 года назад

Thank you very much! :) Yes scraps from an old table, the soundboard is 4mm birch plywood.

@robabnawaz 2 года назад

@@TheVikingWoodsmith Let nobody say, spruce would be "bad" wood! It sounds very good.

@farawayguy7 4 года назад

Fantastic work! I am attempting to build my own but am having trouble with the horse hair strings and tuning. What do you have your strings tuned to? How many horse hairs do you have per string?

@TheVikingWoodsmith 4 года назад

Thank you! :) A traditional style Tagelharpa is often tuned CGG with the G having 40 to 50 hairs and the C 30 to 40 With my unusual designs I have noticed that one instrument resonates better with higher and another with lower notes. Also keep in mind that when you make the strings upon first tuning and experimenting with tunings the weakest hairs will break and you have to then remove them to keep the sound "clean". So if you are going for 35 hairs make that 38. In the end it's just best to play around and find what you like and what works best for your creation. :)

@farawayguy7 4 года назад

Thanks for the quick reply and for the advise! I'll keep playing around it and see if I can finally get a decent sound out of it. Cheers!

@TheVikingWoodsmith 4 года назад

@@farawayguy7 No problem, sometime I happen to be in front of the pc haha :) Regarding sound, you gotta use a lot of rosin to start with, put it on the string and on the bow, usually at first there is too little sound, then you get too much and screeching and as you keep playing the amount gets just right and you just have to add a little to the bow every now and then ;) Have fun playing! :)

@saxus 3 года назад

What material did you used for resonant and for backboard? I'm on phone now, it looks plywood on it but that would be quite wierd choice.

@TheVikingWoodsmith 3 года назад

It indeed is 4mm birch plywood. You want your soundboard as thin as possible and if you don't have the tools to produce such a thin board that is the best and fastest solution ;)

@saxus 3 года назад

@@TheVikingWoodsmith Yeah, but it's really not good for an instrument. The best material for a resonant is spruce with dense straight perpendiculal grains. I made three hungarian zither (citera). The first ones resonant made from baltic pine (not sure about english name, Pinus Sylvestris) other parts made from oak (fingerboard, main/small head, rear block, walls etc.) The two newer one made from spruce (resonant, wall and also this one have a backpanel) and beech (fingerboard, head, rear block). The difference is tremendous in terms of sound quality. By the way, you don't have to have a lot of tools for it. You already have a bandsaw to resaw, you just need a handplane (don't need a fancy iron one a cheap wooden one is more than enough - just be able to sharpen the iron) and a some clamps to gluing smaller parts to a bigger panels. But even a flat table with two straight stick and a few wedge is good.

@TheVikingWoodsmith 3 года назад

@@saxus I agree :) Since I consider myself more of an Artist than instrument maker, (or claim to be one) I am sometimes willing to sacrifice function for form :P But thanks for the feedback! :)

@saxus 3 года назад

@@TheVikingWoodsmith yeah, well... I work as an engineer, I like things which can fulfill they purpose. 🙂 (But also I like music, listen and play, dance, etc.) Anyway. IMHO a musical instrument is like best of two worlds. It's not enough to "just works" it also should look good. 🙂 Btw. Your log lyre gived me inspiration to make a zither in that style.

@@saxus I see what you mean :D Sounds epic! :) I would love to see what you come up with should you make it!

What do you use for the strings for the instruments

@TheVikingWoodsmith 2 года назад

Horse hair, just order the one that's used for violin bows :)

@firstglass1696 5 лет назад

Hey, that sounds quite different to your first one! If you keep on improving the sound, you just have to find some tagelharpa-virtuoso who orders his instruments from you, and you ´r a made man :) I hope for you that at least this one is for sale. Really well done, like it!

@TheVikingWoodsmith 5 лет назад

can you give the size of this tagelharpa please ? Skal my friend !

Hi :) it's 45x10x2,5 inch or 115x25x6cm but be aware that it is bigger as a regular Tagelharpa and cannot be played like such. ;)

@TheVikingWoodsmith 5 лет назад

Strange, either my answer didn't get through yesterday or it just not getting displayed now, anyway sorry for the late reply, I once tried voiceover but I am aweful at it and it takes a lot of time. The Soundboard is made from 4mm beech plywood.

@hallo_matthew7627 5 лет назад

Thank you for your answer! I just started editing my first video. I'm going to make little voice over. I watch the video after editing and just explain what I'm doing. After that I insert the voice in the video part... and watch it again... I'm experimenting right now...

@TheVikingWoodsmith 5 лет назад

@@Vingnir you can find horse hair on amazon. I took 55 hairs for the thick and 35 hairs for the 2 thin strings. you superglue them together, make a knot and apply some more glue to prevent the knot from slipping. the you put them on the instrument and twist them (all in the same direction) until you get a nice even string. :)
