Yes, the nyckelharpa is a crazy cool instrument! We actually have a whole bunch of nyckelharpa players here in Seattle- granted, none of us locally play classical music on them...If you like this, definitely check out his amazing cd, From Castle and Cottage. Have you heard the music traditionally played on the nyckelharpa yet? If not, you should look up the music trio Väsen. There's an incredibly rich history that goes along with the instrument- and these days virtually all musical traditions can be found utilizing it. Really cool to see. Enjoyed stumbling across this video, I hadn't seen it yet!
