I see no one has started a post. so I will. If you view my homepage on the hangout, you will see a few pictures of my Nyckelharpa. I build Nyckelharpas as well as Other Instruments like Hurdy Gurdies. I have been building musical instruments most of my life, and I guess I will not stop, till I stop. I have constructed two Nyckelharpas My second nyckelharpa is not yet ready for public viewing as it is under construction. It is or will be a Fiddleharpa. If you are not sure what that is, or would like to know. lets get the Nyckelharpa group going.

G-D-A-E ...and also I saw there some instruments with springs in the tangents so that the keys sprang back when released, rather than having to wait for gravity to let them settle back in place.
