Day 2 of playing the Nyckelharpa

[@JumpinthewaterPenelope]

I had a dream last night that Betsy was the lead detective in a mystery show and I would definitely watch that show. 😂Love the videos!

[@ecbst6]

See, the first thing I thought of on this video was Spellsinger.

[@David0gden]

I would even enjoy that concept as an audio theater podcast.

[@JumpinthewaterPenelope]

@@David0gden Yes!

[@honest2betsy]

@@JumpinthewaterPenelope oh this sounds fun

[@JumpinthewaterPenelope]

@@honest2betsy It was fun indeed ❤Have a nice day!

[@DanielWright-np3fq]

Am always in awe of musical talent. Wonderfully melancholic, enchanting music from those strings.

[@nightbreed7292]

You are absolutely gorgeous and amazingly talented m'lady. I've been binge watching your content cause I love old music. But the ones you've shared I've never heard before. I think I died twice from laughing and forgetting to catch my breath 😅. Thank you for sharing your talents and knowledge with the world. ❤

[@krazyglue60]

Ah, I see you out the washboard up. Look forward to seeing and hearing that in future videos!

[@JeffreySlough]

I have always thought that was an amazing instrument! Great job, can't wait to hear more.

[@montyr2083]

Profoundly impressive! Also what a *fascinating* instrument.

[@BolshieBoy]

Welcome to the nyckelharpa! Always great to see a new player!

[@mantistoboggan2676]

Mandelorian theme is originally on bass recorder. Recorder gang represent.

[@fitzpatrickgf]

I have to get me one of those! First time seeing and hearing an instrumental that looks like a house centipede with the million jazz hands as it runs across the floor! The acoustics gives it a unique sound , like there are multiple players. Soooo Cool! 😊❤❤

[@christimmerman6887]

That thing's cool!!!

[@fredrichardson9761]

That's actually really impressive - I took violin lessons for 4 years as a kid and I could not play much of anything without a log of "squawking"!

[@ShannonA]

Very interesting instrument. I hadn't seen one of those before.

[@TimLeatham]

Great instrument it sounds cool

[@deniselarae4699]

Lovely!

[@becki4326]

What a talent 😳👌

[@artsaganza8742]

good job, i dont think i ever saw that instrument before

[@whagman]

This interment is so cool!

[@Troubleshooter125]

Interesting instrument, never ran onto it before ... like a cross between a violin and an autoharp! Thanks for doing this!

[@rebeccacamacho-sobczak4282]

Love this! And all the songs. I miss Prof. Leher.

[@robwilsn3219]

You have the music gene. Not everyone has it. But you do. Singing, play different instruments, ect. Yep, you have the gene❣️ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mantistoboggan2676]

Im guessing you have experience already playing stringed instruments. That was very good.

[@billlm8017]

Beautifully done I always wondered what kind of instrument made that sound And also your videos are such fun

[@donaadler6208]

Youre amazing

[@Theprivatepsychodelicreel]

I imagine this is the music I will hear cross the river styx when I pass !

[@Fog66]

Cool as hell

[@Slipknotyk06]

Definitely reminds me of the hurdy gurdy in a way. Very cool.

[@makarabaduk1754]

Yeah, my first thought was "who peeled a hurdy gurdy?"" Followed by ""Nickelback on the Nyckelharpa?"

[@danepatterson8107]

You are an impressive person and I admire you while enjoying your content.

[@Columbiastargazer]

could turn into an exploding gag by playing "Those Endearing Little Charms" like in Looney Tunes :)

[@maddogthirteen]

Came here for the old song videos. And now a nyckelharpa? Liked and subscribed!

[@davew4998]

Bravo!

[@wyyrdojim]

Even better, you have a knack for music!😸😻

[@jasmadams]

Thanks so much for giving me an idea to throw at the Luthier KS campaign!

[@zappa555]

lovely, says a swede

[@johnmcdonough666]

Awesome!

[@Gatsby_Obsessed_Goth]

Mr. Betsy😂😂😂

[@jasoncoker1625]

😊💯🔥🤘

[@debradoernbach5548]

Oh,boy, what a treat. I will pre-order your cd.

[@MadamPenguinProductions]

First view and first comment on this video😝Good luck on your KZbin journey! You’re obviously a talented musician and deserve credit!!

[@honest2betsy]

@@MadamPenguinProductions thanks!!

[@texan01]

So it’s a keyed violin? Cool! Good job!

[@vsee2207]

Very cool

[@mohammadnajmibachok9330]

Violin and harp hybrid 😮

[@silverbird425]

😀😃😄😁

[@rickkaylor8554]

Very cool instrument. You are getting good at playing it. Where did you get it? I've been looking at getting a hurdy gurdy or a nyckelharpa.

[@jimmydelaware4323]

Not only did I discover old songs that would make Ben Shapiro shit his pants and faint; I also discovered what ever the fuck that is. Thanks!

[@clemdelaclem]

I wonder what the strings at the very top are used for idk how you even reach them, what an interesting instrument

[@ShannonA]

Maybe drone strings like on a hurdy gurdy?

[@honest2betsy]

@@ShannonA yes. It’s a drone

[@thudor1]

So it's got sympathetic vibrating strings like the sarangi from India?

[@honest2betsy]

@@thudor1 yes!

[@thudor1]

@@honest2betsy, nice! I play the sitar and the SVS's on those take a long time to tune!!

[@DGneoseeker1]

So this is a bit like a hurdy-gurdy without the crank?

[@Verge63]

They aren't cheap can cost up to 8K. I believe they come from Sweden.

[@krazyglue60]

Mr. Betsy is a dog? Who claps?

[@loltubelvr007]

Oh! So, you already play string instruments. ok

[@unechaine1]

Maybe your room is too small.
