Gorgeous playing, gorgeous instrument. How much did the instrument cost?

Thank you so much! It was a gift from my Luthier, Don Shaw, whom I derivater this piece for. You can reach him via “Inspirational Instruments” :)

Wow! I have never realised that some hommel variants can produce such a DEEP tone! Great sound, I enjoy it very much!

Thank you :) This one is loosely based on an Icelandic Langspill from the 1700’s. The strings was chosen for that exact purpose, the deep, warm sound :)

Works similarly than dulcimers, how is it tuned?
@kjellbraaten Жыл бұрын
Yes, Priscilla, it is very similar (same family). This one is tuned in D two strings unison and one an octave below, but there are several days to tune them. But how they where tuned back in 15-1700 we don't know for sure. Today, no one uses these anymore, they use the more advanced Langeleik :)

Thank you :) This one is a “Icelandic Langspill” from around 1700. Amazing sound :)
