Shetland & Scottish Reels on Nyckelharpa - Da Boys O’ Da Lounge & Janine’s Reel

You think I play too slow ? Wait for it... Possibly the hardest tunes I’ve ever played on nyckelharpa, a tempo at least. These jumps and crossed fingerings are madness. LOTS of practice - and hours of bad takes for one good video. But oh so much fun and satisfaction in the end ! Hope you like it. - Da Boys O’ Da Lounge composed by Garden Johnston, transmitted by Kevin Henderson. - Janine’s Reel composed by Jim Sutherland, learned from the Tübingen Ethno folkies. This video is part of the World Nyckelharpa Day 2022 challenge of playing tunes from other instruments’ repertoires on nyckelharpa. World Nyckelharpa Day website Nyckelharpa built by Jean-Claude Condi (FR) with an extended “Billy“ keyboard making these tunes possible on the instrument, no doubt. Bow by GEWA from Thomann webshop. The fiddle in the middle in the background is a Swedish låtfiol I’m Emelie Wal
