Nyckelharpa and bagpipes: Anna Rynefors and Erik Ask-Upmark - Dråm

[@djmj12714]

It's like those two instruments were meant to be played together, and perfectly in tune with each other. Thanks!

[@leahhuddleston3677]

My 1st time hearing the Swedish pipes and lovely they are, as well. Beautiful combination of instruments!!

[@owenmcgee8496]

I had no idea until today that there is such a thing as Swedish bagpipes. It's great the music that can be discovered via youtube. Scandinavian folk music, for example...

[@Fjerid]

The amazing thing is that old turkish folks from the north-western parts of Turkey also practise the bagpipes EVEN though these two folks are not related whatsoever. I always thought that the bagpipes were something unique from celtics/scandinavian folks.

[@Satelitko]

Try Bulgarian folk music :) Especially the Rhodopi bagpipe and vocal songs. Just don't get near the "pop-folk"/chalga music from recent years.

[@AhmetCanK]

Definitely try Azis. xD Apart from Turkish and Balkan folk, bagpipes also exist in Occitan folk songs.

[@themigmadmarine]

If you've not found them I'd strongly recommend Corvus Corax and Garmarna.

[@rogthepirate4593]

The fascinating thing is that bagpipes are actually a type of instrument that has been a part of *many* cultures across history, going as far back as ancient rome and greece and even egypt, where arguably the principle of using a bag to blow a flute or reed pipe has likely been invented. It's a very diverse and multinational type of instrument.

[@giannagiavelli5098]

anna is beautiful and so is the sound of the Nyckelharpa !

[@Thorum13]

Wow, what a combination!! Sublime...

[@tenchu65]

Lovely , and learned something new about Sweden , I am from Norway , ha en fin dag !

[@Marcblur]

This is some of the best I've seen for this type of pipe!

[@dowunda]

Very creative idea. And beautifully played too!

[@EmelieWaldken]

Wonderful... I particularely love the second part of the video, when the nyckelharpa joins... Please, more videos !

[@BollywoodBrass22]

Fantastic my two most favorite instruments and playing a Polska!

[@soslothful]

The nyckelharpa must be beastly to tune!

[@kashagizmo]

Not as bad as you'd expect. While obviously for optimal sound you'll want it in perfect tune, the Sahlström model of nyckelharpa only has four strings that really "must" be in tune. The rest are merely resonance strings that add to the color of the sound. It takes me about a minute or so to tune my nyckelharpa by ear, unless it's dreadfully out of tune due to temperature shifts or something similar.

[@fiedelmina]

I don't really agree with kashagizmo: If the sympathetic strings are out of tune, the sound of the instrument gets worse. But since there is the same system as on a guitar for the tuning pegs of the sympathetic strings, they are easy to tune. In my case it takes about 5min.

[@kashagizmo]

Note that I said 'for optimal sound' - obviously you'll want optimal sound if you have the time. It doesn't really sound out of tune if you skip tuning the sympathetic strings, but the instrument will have a richer, clearer sound if you do bother tuning them properly. Luckily they usually stay in tune rather well in the first place, and as you pointed out, the guitar tuning pegs help a lot with the process. :) The instrument is however playable just by tuning the main strings, something which is handy if you for example have to adapt your tuning quickly to join in a jam session at a festival or something.

[@heikkitoropainen1340]

the bag ppie is a beast to tune

[@johanwesterlundgranberg7939]

Indeed, and also don't forget the bagpipe has a reed, which is very sensitive to humidity. Sure, the strings on a nyckelharpa or any other string instrument are also sensitive to changes in temperature. But you can always tune a string instrument (which usually is quite easy when you have tuning pegs), and then you're good to go. A reed that doesn't work perfectly will make the bagpipe impossible to play.

[@Itxazoa]

MARVELOUS!!! Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@goatsareus]

Thanks, Andy! I love the bit at 2.08 where the Nyckelharpa joins in and plays in unison with the pipes. It's so simple musically but what a wonderful, wonderful sound.

[@goatsareus]

Thanks, Marcblur. Nothing has been done to the audio at all apart from a bit of noise reduction, so it's very much like it sounded in the hall. I love the blend of strings and pipe - it's amazing.

[@edwarddowney7542]

SO WONDERFUL BOTH GREAT INSTRUMENTALISTS!

[@serianelordtepesh]

OH MY GOD I CAN ALMOST HEAR A CROWD IN THE BACKGROUND!! All laughing, dancing and clapping to your rythm, in a big bar 300 years ago around a big fireplace :O

[@heikkitoropainen1340]

..and some falling down sleeping , too much vodka. how did u missed that part

[@Gedagnors]

Super!!!!!! Does anybody know the names of the tunes? Thank you!

[@scherf56]

Wow !! what a lovely performance !! and the video is well done, too congrats to all ! js

[@LizaPeninon]

WOW, this is beyond amazing, awesome ... magnificent !

[@HaileISela]

haha, how funny that he did retune his drone on the last note, must have bothered him for quite some time^^ Thank you for these beautiful videos, and btw, I liked the editing very much. simple but effective!

[@The1TheyCallJake]

I don't know about the key, but it appears to be a Swedish sakpipa, which makes it a perfect match for the nyckelharpa :)

[@Mita49]

Såååå vackert!

[@KarinC1011]

Ljuvligt! Man blir glad bara på att lyssna ☺️

[@rohanpp786]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video...!!!!

[@andylowings]

Great combination. Great video

[@ralphyboy25]

Very interesting combination of instruments.

[@Tracy-xe9zu]

Those look like Irish uillian pipes. Either way, I love this music- very relaxing to listen to.

[@danielthompson6207]

Tracy I believe those are Northumbrian pipes, but I could be wrong

[@jzaar7483]

Daniel Thompson They're Swedish Säckpipa fyi :3

[@jzaar7483]

Tracy They're similar in the horizontal drone and key (i think...) but there're some key ways to distinguish the two. For example; the Uillean pipes have 3 (maybe 4 or more?) drones, this only has one, the Uillean pipes are bellowed, and the chanter has a few differences. :3

[@colestofflet5975]

Magnificent!!!

[@artigane51]

fantastic great music

[@Pajzanalgatelep]

I can literally hear them in my head.:O

[@sonofsam22]

Nice miking, I'm glad you had some 414's for it. Couldn't afford a neumann? :) Good job!

[@MrJuanmasb]

¡Maravilloso! Good Job!

[@ClassVtony]

They were in CA and wonderful.

[@sandb1867]

Excellent!

[@andjack]

My favorite is 3.10. You could also try to listen to "Blå Bergens Borduner", as they also have great bagpipe, mandolin and fiddle music, like Dråm.

[@Plankensen]

I'm not sure what this is. but I wake up to it and likes it..And me likes it. Cheers

[@heikkitoropainen1340]

its swedish trad dance songs

[@neoworld560]

perfect!

[@valbonne93]

No offence meant, but there is so much more to the nyckelharpa than LoL. ^^ It's a culturally historical instrument, and the national one of Sweden. I love the combination of bagpipes and nyckelharpa owo

[@wms72]

Sounds a bit like the music from the pub on Dartooeen, in a galaxy far, far away.

[@goatsareus]

Had a few of them bit that evening I decided not to use a mixer and only brought the 414's and the lighting. It was a bit of a mixed bag (camera-wise) and also I was the soloist in the first half of the concert so there was a limit to what I could rig in time.

[@zhuangyouxu5425]

awesome!

[@Odie8793]

What kind of bagpipe is that & in which key is it tuned? Beautiful, sweet, lilting music & what a lovely tone & sound is achieved. Bravo!!!

[@heikkitoropainen1340]
