Gammelharpa

The modern 3-row chromatic nyckelharpa is a relatively new development (the 1930s) and there is a whole world before this! This page is dedicated to listing out the tunes I've taught on the older styles of nyckelharpa - this genus is generally called gammelharpa and each instrument has its own name! I'm currently re-vamping this page a little, so I'll be adding some more playlists of the instruments over the next few days..

These tunes are gradually being migrated over to my new website. Anything marked in red can now be found here: Vicki's Music Room.
