Hear the Sound – Nyckelharpa Demo

Words cannot capture the full beauty of the nyckelharpa’s voice. That’s why we invite you to listen.

In video below, you will see a master playing the nyckelharpa and hear its clear resonant tones across different ranges. From soft melodic lines to powerful folk drones – this instrument delivers a sound that inspires.

The Emotion Behind the Instrument

When you order a nyckelharpa from us, you don’t just buy an instrument – you bring history and craftsmanship into your hands. Each nyckelharpa is unique, made individually for you, and carries the touch of both artisan and musician.

It’s more than wood and strings – it’s a bridge between ancient Nordic traditions and your own musical journey. Imagine holding an instrument that connects you to centuries of music, yet designed especially for your hands, your sound, your style.

👉 This is not just an instrument. This is your nyckelharpa.

Tuning and Sound

Our nyckelharpas can be tuned flexibly, giving musicians a broad sonic palette. Overall, it allows you to get the sound of both a low cello and a high violin, and the resonant strings make the sound softer and provide accompaniment that is not available on other instruments. Whether you prefer traditional folk tuning or modern experimental setups, the nyckelharpa adapts beautifully.

Each instrument is tested by our master craftsmen before leaving the workshop, ensuring authentic resonance, stability and sound projection.

Custom Orders Tailored to You

Each nyckelharpa is made individually for every customer. Production usually takes up to 8 weeks, as we believe quality takes time. We also offer full customization:

Choice of color and finish
Personal engravings or artwork
Adjustments design
Optional protective case for transport and storage

I waited two days for the wood to give it and that I can tune it correctly but already with new strings, it holds its tuning well which is very practical given the number of strings. As for the sound, this Nickelharpa is incredible it reasons strongly and gives the impression of being several violins playing together thanks to its sympathetic strings! And even in pure acoustics it sounds loud. But once plugged in it's magical, there's not a single buzz, the sound is clean thanks to its Fishman microphone!!! I tried it with a reverb atmospheric pedal for black metal and a Whammy to try as well as a big metal distortion and there is really a way to go crazy!!! The keys of the Nickelharpa are not made of wood but honestly it's cool because suddenly it doesn't move with a change in humidity and it allows you to have a fluid game.

La calidad del Nyckelharpa es increíble, tiene un sonido muy bueno, la pastilla fishman es genial, lo único que le mejoraría en el futuro es el puente, que se lo cambiaré por uno de madera, pero concluyendo, es una gran compra, repetiría sin duda.
