SCANDINAVIAN KEYED STRINGSFamiliar yet somehow different, the sound of the Nyckelharpa walks a delicate line. Dating from the middle ages, Nyckelharpa translates as ‘keyed fiddle’ in Swedish.The pitch of the notes is altered by pressing a wooden key, which frets the string. There are also 12 sympathetic strings, added in the mid 1700s, possibly inspired by the viola d’amore. They serve to add resonance.

ELEGANCE. BALANCE. RHYTHM.The Chinese Sheng, Laotian Khaen, and Japanese Sho are three very similar instruments with a common ancestor.  They have been traditionally made from bamboo, the aluminium of the east, since the 14th century BC.Sound is created by both inhaling and exhaling - as with a western mouth-organ.By controlling his breath the player can keep an almost endless sustained sound.
