I recently acquired a four row harpa and found that when bowing the keyed C3 string it was a problem getting enough bite to get the string to produce a good...

I am a new nyckelharpa learner & I wonder how often to use rosin on the bow. Any suggestions? I practice every day for usually 35-50 minutes. And I have...
Opinions on this differ widely, and depend a lot on how much you play. I use as little rosin as possible, only adding more when my bow starts sliding around,...

Puma-- Thanks for that! I had the same reaction, but wasn't quite sure how to phrase it. It's like ripping copies of people's CDs to give as gifts....the...

To whom it may concern--my partner Lars Olson has tried a couple of times to post something to this list, but it never shows up in either of our mailboxes....

Is this an "inverted" 4-row, where the strings go between the top two and bottom two rows of keys? Or is this harpa set up traditionally, with the whole...
I'd guess you need to use rosin about twice per week. It depends on how hard you press. Generally speaking, the better you get (due to practice, and at your...
Thanks for the hints, Bart! I am trying to get better rapidly, but I have a _long_ way to go, too. Since it is 4+ hours for me to get to Chris Leydon for a...
Hello! I am rather new to bows and strings and still sometimes struggle to get OK tones. Found following useful. First, keep strings free of hardened rosin by ...

Hi everyone, I am looking for the notes and an mp3 of the Roros pols fra Dalarna. Is there anybody out there who can help me out? Thanks! :-) Chiara [Non-text...
... Um... Røros is a town in Norway, "pols" is Norwegian word (for the dance), "fra" is Norwegian for "from"; but "Dalarna" is a province in Sweden. So ...
Hi Bart, You are right. I do have some notes but they are not good at all and on the same page it says fra Dalarna. But it’s a Rorospols I’m looking for...
Your "notes" are not musical notes -- you don't have any written music for the Rørospols, right? There's no way to tell from you description which tune it...

Chiara, if you have some notes, better send them to someone to look at. Otherwise there's no hope of identifying this. You can send them to me offline, if you...
Hi Bart, My notes ARE musical notes but there is harmony written through it and it's not clear to me what the basic melody of the part I should play, is. The ...

Hmmm--there is an area of Värmland called "Dalarne", but it seems a bit far to be so strongly influenced as to play music from Røros--800 km. The fact that...

Yes, but now we have a clue - it's in 3 parts. I only have one 3-part pols on my site... By any chance, Chiara, does #2748 on this link look familiar? ...
Hi Karen, Sheila and Bart, First of all, thanks for all your help so far! :-) I just moved last week, and my scanner doesn’t work yet. The rorospols I have,...
