HOW TO MAKE A TALHARPA!

The talharpa, also known as a tagelharpa (tail-hair harp) or the stråkharpa (bowed harp), is a multi-stringed bowed lyre from northern Europe. It was formerly widespread in Scandinavia, but today it’s quickly making a resurgence as the polarity in Nordic music groups such as Wardruna and Hielung grows. Talharpa were traditionally built by hollowing out a single block of wood, and gluing a soundboard on top, as demonstrated by various historical finds. In modern times, many tagelharpa makers continue to build their musical instruments from solid wood. The Talharpa that I have built is a hybrid of modern and traditional styles. This was my first attempt at building a wooden instrument and I was very happy with how it turned out. Hopefully I will find time to be able to make another Talharpa in the Future!
