[@draxthimsklounst6173]

Watched this twice. Had no idea this instrument existed. Absolutly amazing performance, Dandelion would be proud.

[@corentin_Z]

I didnt know this tune. Was juste looking for tagelharpa songs and, oh boy i wasn’t ready for the drop at 0:15 . I want to slay monsters now.

[@gretchenlittlefield7279]

This brings chills down my spine this is absolutely amazing

[@gasparsalvador]

Brother, as a recently released Tagleharpa performer (less than 3 months old), I have to congratulate you for the perfect execution of the piece. The original live version on Spotify has quite a few jump ropes compared to yours. I subscribe to your channel and encourage you to do a tutorial for newbies. A greeting from Spain.

[@davidvaughn7752]

You are very good! Hard instrument to successfully play such an intricate piece!!!

[@naturalharmony281]

Wow! What an amazing and beautiful playing! Very clean. Talharpa is definitely the next instrument to learn on my list but I will better start with a smaller one for the basics :)

[@Jason-mj3wr]

the Wendigo relief is an excellent touch.

ХАРОШ!!!!!!! Красава!!! Мелодия как в оригинале!!!!

I'm glad I came across your video. I'd never heard of this instrument before, and it sounds amazing. I love how you get that drone sound that reminds me of the drone on a bagpipe, and it harmonizes with the other sounds.

Incredible, thank you for uploading. I had a question - Which do you find more difficult? Fingering (giggidy) or the bowing?

[@rowank118]

This is awesome! Where did you get your instrument from?

[@gabendselarom673]

I love how you play this instrument, for me you are one of the few who plays it with a clean and beautiful sound. I'm curious, why does your tagelharpa sound so bass? Is it the type of strings or calibration? ( By the way, I loved Máni and Iron john :3 )

[@alravi8707]

I appreciate your comment :) This instrument is made by Nikon b. He is a very good instrument builder, he also has a KZbin channel.

[@alravi8707]

@@gabendselarom673 I think the main reason why it has such a rich sound, is the significant difference in string thickness. But i did not build the instrument, to know the fine details, you might ask Nikon instead. I am currently away for a while, that's why i haven't been uploading. But more vids are coming😉

[@timfrank2123]

It’s soooo beautiful, can you give me any advice on how to get started in playing the Tagelharpa

[@alravi8707]

Dont be afraid to sound like shit. Becouse it will sound like shit on the first few months or year. So be kind an patient with you and your instrument :) I have a tuning app called "Gstrings". I ofcourse use it as a tuning device. But you can also search with your finger for notes. Once you found the note, you can mark it with a marker of whatever, and practice with that for a while. Its important to find your own playingstyle, altough, watching other artist play helped me alot.(i hope i am clear, despite my poor english). What kind of tagelharpa do you have?

[@brinkiTOgo]

Awesome! Which tuning is that?

[@barefootarts737]

You have good intonation. Nice work.

[@rocknrollbarbecue5166]

Can you tell me a little about the scale-length, tuning, and strings? I want to build a similar instrument.

[@rocknrollbarbecue5166]

This is an amazing performance, by the way. The depth of voice you have achieved is amazing

Hey there so I’m looking to purchase a bass telgaharpa. I like the sound of your w nylon and oak. I can’t find this Nikon B person sells instruments but I see where he has a channel. Any tips appreciated thanks! And you sound amazing ✊🏽

[@alravi8707]

Thank you, i asked in the comments in one of his video's

[@seannoble7665]

About to start building one. Would you mind listing the basic dimensions of the body? Hard to eyeball how long/wide/deep a tagelharpa cello should be.

[@terranmiller9287]

Was going to ask the same, love the sound of this one

[@rifkabass]

Arrived here looking for the same info, I managed to see the dimensions of one in amazon, and it was 95x16x8 (cms) (feels narrow, but that's what it said, anyway, the length is the most important part and that one seemed legit). If you got anything, I'd love to know, because I don't even know how to start or what to make the strings of, whether I should add a fine tuner or not, etc.

[@gustavojendiroba4151]

Hello, what music system do you use? Notes, to be more precise. I use a translator, so the words may be incorrect

[@alravi8707]

Hey😇 I tried to translate your previous comment, but i couldn't translate it very well, unfortunately. Not sure what you mean wth system. I assume you mean a tuner device? I use an app called: Gstrings. I like to experiment in different tunings. Like: DAD, EBE, FCF and GDG. These tunings all sounds quite dramatic, just the way i like it ;) Not sure if i awnsered your question, but here you go. Let me know if you want some more clarity

[@Tanuhha]

@@alravi8707 Oh, thank you, very much!!!

[@Tanuhha]

@@alravi8707 I am really very grateful for such a detailed answer, you helped me a lot!

[@alravi8707]

@@Tanuhha I forgot to mention a few things, that you might find useful: The tuning is also reliable on the thickness of strings. You cannot tune it really high to a GDG with thick strings. Otherwise the strings will snap eventually😅 The strings need to be thinner in order to tune it high. If you want to play a lower tuning like DAD, the strings need to be thicker as well. Otherwise the instrument will sound really soft. Also the last string is an octave lower than the first string. For example: E2 B3 E3

[@Tanuhha]

Great rendition but It would be much better in frygian mode than in eolian.

[@alravi8707]

I do not know those terms. can you explain?

[@kamiltopaczewski7445]

@@alravi8707 Eolian scale is also called natural minor scale. For example if the central note is E it would contain following notes: E F# G A B C D. You played this piece by using this scale. Frygian scale would contain different notes: E F G A B C D. It sounds much darker. Original song in Witcher uses the second one - frygian scale. By the way I really enjoyed your Tagelharpa playing 😀

[@alravi8707]

Ah yes. Funny you notice. I did this, to experiment and make a bit of my own version. I like to change things up, from their originals :) Thx for advice though
