Hi All, I have put up a nyckelharpa on Ebay. Made by Jean Claude Condi in 2003. Perfect working order and condition. Take a look. Cheers, Mike [Non-text...
Hej! I am thinking of embarking on a project and I wanted to check the list first to see if I would be duplicating something that is already available. I have...
John, It is a very generous undertaking on your part. I would join with others in wishing the project well. I don't think you have a copyright problem. Even...
Great idea, if you have the time and determination! I am pretty sure you are the first to attempt this. I would suggest you check with the Svenskt Visarkiv in...
John-- At least some of the tunes have most likely already been posted on the Net, somewhere.....I don't know how easy it would be to check, though, as they...

I am curious, what is the preferred tuner for harpas now? I am sure many have come out with different specs since I got mine quite a few years ago. I use a...
The DT-1 is a good device, and by paying careful careful attention to the small LEDs you can adjust for +/- 2, 4 or 6 cents. See my article about it in...
i have found the best all around tuner to be the intelli-touch. it clamps on to the instrument, lights up at night and is quite accurate. It can be used for...
When I fine-tune the tangents on my nyckelharpa, I take a ~1" long piece of black electrical tape and stick it to each set of understrings. It damps the ...
Hi Mel, The Korg OT-12 is a nice tuner and I have one, but, unfortunately the built-in Vallotti temperament is a bit odd. I ran it's output (via the sound...
Hey John, Actually it's not odd at all. It's just that the Vallotti default in the Korg is offset by approx. 2 cents to be centered about A (= 440 and no...
Hi Mel, Actually, you are right, all Korg is doing is transposing the Olsson temperament up by two cents, which is actually a good idea for the reasons you...
