@@geoffbeswick6032 One of the musicians is playing a Norwegian Hardinger fiddle and a Nyckelharpa is a type of fiddle. It is a bowed string instrument and all bowed string instruments are types of fiddles according to the Sachs-Hornbostel classification of musical instruments.
Wonderful playing and, I must say, wonderful filming! The foreground/background portrait shots, where you stare straight in to the camera, were just excellent and gave me such a good laugh!
A wonderful piece of music, played very well on extremely interesting instruments! A joy to watch and listen. Why did it take RU-vid algorithms so long to recommend this video to me?????
Both instruments are beautiful. Intricate and unique in construction, they bring style to sound, like rhythm does to poetry. What is that instrument? Not the fiddle, the other one? Please.
Nyckelharpa- I had never even heard of this instrument. It sounds great. The Hardanger fiddle- 8 string- is very resonant. Great job. It might have 10 strings, instead.
It would be wonderful if someone could lead us through a video on how this instrument works….it’s tuning….and general information on the key mechanism.
