Ten minutes of Tagelharpa

[@m.j.piazza7853]

This is incredible! I'm trying to build my own model and currently have a cardboard prototype that actually works decently.

[@thejconstantine3081]

I'm stealing this idea 😂

[@robertrodgers9796]

Excellent! This will make a fine addition to my playlist. Thank you. You play the instrument very well.

[@tagelharpalair]

Thank you so much.

[@hugoglrs4496]

Very good, the sound and melody are very nice!

[@Drunken_Overlord]

Perfection! Best 10 mins I had in months! My respect for self made tagelharpa! Can u maybe make video with some advice how to make tagelharpa?

[@joedesalme8096]

Well done! I appreciate the fact that not only do you play well, you also made the instrument yourself. It would be great to see you build one up!

[@janvojtek6651]

Very amazing! Your videos have only one downside and its their short lenght but with this video its perfect 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@tagelharpalair]

Thank you. I will keep that in mind, and upload longer videos.

[@janvojtek6651]

@@tagelharpalair very nice to hear, the more tagelharpa the better. The shorter vids are very good also when i lisen to them in a playlist but when lisening to them individually you have to look back on your phone and play something after it ends quite often. Anyways keep up the good work and keep the nordic spirit alive

Jó videó,lett,és a tagelharp-nak is jó hangja van.

Beautiful

I play Talharpa as well, do you prefer nylon or horsehair? Current have horse hair strings but considering trying nylon for easier access to get them.

[@tagelharpalair]

Personally i prefer nylon strings. They sound very close to horsehair, but they stay in tune, and don't break easily.

[@Eldrvak]

​@@tagelharpalair Thank you my friend, are they hard to come by and ready to go?

woooow ! Awesome i love it

[@insanetrain7]

Beautiful. Where does this instrument come from?

[@tagelharpalair]

It is a Nordic instrument. It died out, except Finland, and in Estonia. But now its more popular than ever thankfully.

[@marcusfridh8489]

I have made a couple of tagelharps myself, from old shelf boards, a plank of plywood for the lid and old guitarstrings played with a violinebow. Works decently

I really want to learn to play this instrument but don't know how and where, I don't know anything, must start from the absolute beginning

[@tagelharpalair]

Hi! Check my instagram @tagelharpa_lair i have a lot of stuff there. Also check the Tagelharpa facebook group!

[@Desp_Signe_Vougioukli]

Same goes for me! I bought a taglharpa from Staghelm last year but I still get that squeaky sound when I play higher notes.. i don't know why.. 🤔

[@hugoglrs4496]

@@Desp_Signe_Vougioukli you have to find the good range of tone with a tuner, for example on my own I got 3 strings, 1 is melodic, second one is high drone ( bordrone) and third is low drones ( bass) I use to tune the two first in 261 hz and the bass one in 185 hz, the two first must be tuned the same and the bass , try different tune who have any harmony with the first one , I don't know if it could help you cause every instrument are different according to their materials and the size of string

You has been great. Thank you. I couldn't do it myself. We didn't have enough materials. There was no help from anyone but a friend. Надеюсь на ещё одни записи твоего творчества.

[@nicolaisaia8089]

Amazing sound and superb performance. Nice one mate ;) Can I ask you an information? Are the three strings made from the same diameter of fishing line? What's the diameter of the fishing line?

[@tagelharpalair]

Thank you. Yes all three are made from 0.50mm monofilament.

[@nicolaisaia8089]

@@tagelharpalair thanks for the reply. I've just made the same instrument I'm using horsehair, but I'm not very happy with the sound quality. Just need to play with it before I get a better sound I guess. I would like to show you a couple of pics of my talharp if you would like to.

[@elenchanted9904]

@@tagelharpalair do you use multiple lines twisted together to make one string?

[@tagelharpalair]

Yes. For example 20,30,40 strands if you use 0.20mm fishing line

[@Caligari...]

How many strands and what poundage are there on each string please ? you have a nice touch on the instrument , Thank you

[@tagelharpalair]

Hi! I can't remember, as this was long ago, but maybe 6,8,10 strands of 0.50 mm fishing line

[@internalscreech]

Beautiful! How long is the soundbox in your tagelharpa, and how deep/wide is it? I'm looking at building one for myself and love the brighter sound of yours, would like to make one similar in size.

Man i built my tagelharpa but when i play and touch the strings the sound does not change... what am i doing wrong?

[@tagelharpalair]

A lot of things can be wrong. Without a video, i cant really tell.

[@sourkreem8890]

so weird, @Tagelharpa Lair I tuned to right stuff c#4, g#3, c#3 and tried estonian and backside same thing just index middle and ring finger for practicing notes, mine sounds way off and not appealing to how you play, and when I try the middle string I barely barely hear it at all compared to yours.

[@tagelharpalair]

the middle string should sit a little higher, than the outer ones, so the bow can catch it the same way. you can also try to use more rosin on the bow, or replace the strings.

[@billylebrun3307]

what kind of wax did you use?

[@pawekonieczny9350]

the bow is also made from fishing line? :)

[@tagelharpalair]

I used horsehair on this one, but fishing line can also be used instead.

[@harly_wakeup2646]

what kind of strings do you use on this instrument?

[@tagelharpalair]

0.50mm fishing line strings.
