Every once in a while the algorithm gods throw something at me that opens up something unexpectedly wonderful. I enjoy your music very much. Thanks for posting it.

[@alravi8707]

That means a lot, thank you!

[@algorithmanarch]

Wow, I’m blown away by the sounds you are able to create with your tagelharpa. I recently got my own bass tagelharpa and I have a lot to learn but the way you played yours is amazing. You are quite skilled!

Where did you buy it ?

@@Jaiwho making a tagelharpa isent that hard, and you dont really need any significant wood working tools or knowledge. Plenty of guides on youtube. The only issiue is to the the material for the strings. (If you wanna make them historicly accurate like i do) I've made two tagelharp's. the last one got better. but could do even better if i could get hardwood in the right dimentions. (Wich seams impossible to get where i live.) In essence a tagelharp is an rectangular figure 8, whit one of the holes covered whit a thin sheat of wood front and back. a pegg between the front and back (well fitted, but not glued. Its supposed to transfare the vibrations of the strings between the front and back. it's somthing about bass or sound, idk. But it's supposed to be there.) and a sound hole in the front, like you can see on any stringed instrument that arent a solid block of wood. As stringed instruments go. Tagelharps are probably the easiest instrument you could begin to build on your own. It's really not as difficult as it might look like. Just remember if you decide to make one yourselfe. the top pegs and their holes are supposed to be conical, not stright. I made that misstake on my first, as no one mentioned it. So i could not get it to stay tuned for more than 1 second. BUUUUT. if you insist on buying one. You probably could find a custom instrument builder to help you out, on google or facebook.

Etsy usually has a dozen or so sellers listing them, usually all handmade by the seller as well, as a bonus

Absolutely incredible!!!! You are so talebted and I love your music !! I'm a singer from Canada with Nordic heritage. One of my first times hearing Tagelharpa. I think your playing is my favourite!! Skol!

[@EmergentStardust]

Quite wonderful tone to this instrument and great playing. It reminds me of the Mongolian horsehead fiddle (Morin Khuur) with some kinda Norse influence

[@ЕвгенийВоздух]

[@VoxVocisCruora]

What notes is it tuned to? And do you happen to know what kind of strings it has?

[@tihiroulv3800]

Most gorgeous talharpa playing ever 💚 May I ask you, what scale is there? I mean, the length of a string from pegs to bridge I'd really appreciate that :) Planning to build one myself and got stuck at choosing between 650mm or cello-like 690mm, don't know which to go for :) And your videos of talharpa are my absolute favorite 💚

I want so badly to buy one. Buy most you find are just novelty wall art. Not a true instrument. I know many people who craft them, but I'm no Luthier. I just want to learn on a well built and tuned tegalharpa. I'm going to Norway and Sweden this next fall in search for a moraharpa. Maybe I'll find a tegalharpa worth the money on my journey? Love the video!!

[@BeardedSkull]

tagel or tal. Not tegal... you never find one if you always wrote it false

Horsetail

What is the length from the bridge to the tuning pegs? (scale length) You have fantastic playing technique!!! Do you play other stringed instruments?

[@stillfrankieg]

Yes, I'd love to know this as well as how many hairs per string. Mine does not procure notes down the full range of the string like this.

[@adairhatcher4598]

What exactly is the song you're playing?

[@metlhed010]

Bravo brother 👏 I love this. I’m struggling so hard getting started playing. I noticed your bridge is flat, mine is not therefore I think I purchased a Jouhikko. If I could ask your advice, should I consider putting a flat bridge on it because my second and third string mute out when pressing them and yours sound so clean.

[@alravi8707]

Thank you Methled. I even think having a slight curved bridge might help making a clearer sound on the middle string. But then again, i do not have experience with playing with curved bridges, this is my own logic. I also struggled making proper sound with the middle string. But then i found out i could make the sound more clear by pushing the string slightly forward, and playing closer to the bridge (not too close, otherwise it wil sound like a bird dying). If the third (heavy) string goes mute, or is not loud enough when playing a note, it could be becouse it is too thin. I hope this helps, good luck :)
