This can't be random, I'm sure the brain doesn't have those memories of the ancient past, but the soul.. I'm convinced this is not random, and you sir played this in another life as a viking.
Have you ever thought about getting paid for creating soundtracks for games. This is fire and I totally see this as a total banger if its put in a fantasy, norse themed action game!
I'm planning on starting to make my own instruments and I think I found a great instrument for my third project. I've made a kind of wind membrane instrument using a plastic tube and a pen cap and I'm currently working on making a banjo from a cookie box and old wood. I think this would make a great instrument so Im gonna do more research
I wish I did. I just started trying things mixed with watching other people play on youtube/ig/facebook and trying to play what they were playing. I had a musical background but hadn't really picked up an instrument in ~15 years before I made the talharpa. There is a sizable (relatively) Facebook group "Tagelharpa (och andra stråkharpor) Talharpa and other bowed harps" where people post videos of themselves playing fairly regularly.
@@HavocHarpa Thank you very much sir! Subscribed to you! between yourself, HavokHarpa & Vyntek, yall have some of the best sounding tagelharpas! I know when I get mine I will not be good at all, but yall are great inspiration to where I can get with it with training! Thank you
I made this one and am using steel viola strings for low c and g and a 1/4 scale cello A string for the high C. All d'addario prelude. I usually tune around C G C
I'm curious, is it possible to play this instrument while standing and using a shoulder strap like a guitar? Or does the bow occupying one hand and the other hand pressing on the cords leave the instrument moving around to much as a result of friction/pressure fromt he bow? I have looked around for pictures of people playing similar instruments while standing and haven't found any, so I wondered whether it was just a comfort thing, or if it is impossible/much more difficult to do while standing.
I have not tried it personally but have seen others do it often enough. Camilla Ferrari of Atergolupi does in their videos. As does Bianca Stucker when she plays hers. I play a bit more "aggressively" so not sure how it would work out 🤷♂️
In this video I'm using D'Addario prelude viola strings for the lower 2 (viola c and g string) and a D'Addario prelude 1/4 scale cello A string for the highest.
But a lot of what you can use will depend on your instrument and tuning. If it has a bass bar and sound post steel strings are probably ok, otherwise might be too much tension. Scale length will make a difference too but viola strings are available to fit different sized violas, this has a 16" scale length so I usually use medium or long scale viola strings.
I made this one, there are a lot of them for sale on Etsy but make sure they have a sound sample. I may start selling some soon to fund making more of them (I enjoy it). As for playing, I just sat down and tried to make it sound good, I learn best by doing usually 🤷♂️
@@HavocHarpa Well I definitely recommend you sell some. You've built an awesome one with great sound so I'd trust you more than people on Etsy. I'll subscribe and see if maybe one day you decide to sell. But if not I'd love to just listen to more.
@@wackyman3416 thank you! I have 4 blocks of wood sitting here waiting to get turned in to something but have been getting over meningitis for a month and a half so $$ work has had to take priority over playing and making stuff. Hoping to get back to it ASAP!

Random jamming? Um, excuse me-this is pure masterpiece!
Thank you
Sitting here minding my own business and suddenly I’m being chased through the woods on my horse
You play with such ease and so dynamically! I've only been playing for 5 months or so but this is next level! Definitely feeling inspired. Subscribed.
Thank you! I still sound awful from time to time myself, I only post the stuff that sounds good!
when the random jammin is the best somg youve ever heard (then you cant remember it later)
Happens to me all the time. Thank you!
It's so tragic. This is the music of our time... The last time.
its only the last time if we all surrender.
This can't be random, I'm sure the brain doesn't have those memories of the ancient past, but the soul.. I'm convinced this is not random, and you sir played this in another life as a viking.
The Supernatural and things beyond science and the mundane, can get very strange in a damn fast hurry.

Man, you are so huge inspiration for me. Thanks to you I am so determinated to play talharpa
Thank you!
За Ливию и Ривию , за Север!
Как называется инструмент?
Talharpa/tagelharpa
Чувак, научи играть, у меня не получается так как у тебя😢
Have you ever considered starting a spotify to upload songs??
Maybe some day, time is in short supply over here!
any good source material you recommend for someone first starting out? I purchased one online and curious what resources you use if any!

@@Foxhoundable Just have fun with it :) that's all I focus on. As long as I am a little better today than I was yesterday it was a good day
А какой у вас строй тальхарпы? И какие используете струны?
I made this one and am using steel viola strings for low c and g and a 1/4 scale cello A string for the high C. All d'addario prelude. I usually tune around C G C
This sounds like something Falconer would play
Wow ❤
ty!
Valhalla 🫶🏻🔥
Really Cool!
Сейчас сам собираю себе тальхарпу, надеюсь научусь так же играть.
@@ratibor_feshuk good luck!
Hi! If I may ask, where did you purchase the instrument? It's so nice and I've been looking for placed where to purchase one🙏✨
I made all of the ones I play. I'm hoping to start selling some in July or so.
Awesome!
Ty!

@@HavocHarpa Thanks! I really enjoyed your jamming as well :P
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Amazing melody. Love the darker tune you're playing here. Reminds me of combat music from Witcher 3 game. What's the tuning you're using?
Thank you. It should be around C G C. I just tune by ear most of the time unless I'm going to try to play with other instruments.
How about the tuning, I'm curious because the sound is really intriguing, let me know please
@@ObsidianOracle-w6u should be around c3 g3 c4
@@HavocHarpa thank you!
Brilliant, don't ever stop!!
Thank you
How long have you been playing?
about 2 years; so about a year when this was made
Какой у вас строй инструмента? и есть ли видео на басовой тальхарпе с описанием строя
C3 g4 c4 for my regular harpas, c2 G2 c3 for bass but sometimes I put the C2 string in the middle
Absolutely extraordinary! How long have you been playing to master this instrument?
Thank you. I think I had been playing about a year when I made this video. I just played a lot; couple hours a day give or take.
@@HavocHarpa well congrats then because that is really next level! You are a true master!
@@jp16k92 thank you!
Perfect! The song inside The wave of Your music!❤
Как же это прекрасно!
@@user-skurata thank you!
Wunderbare Arbeit, dass ist das beste Spiel dieses Instruments über das ich bisher gestolpert bin. Great work!
Thank you!
That's great piece of music.
Ty
That was awesome! Looking to build one and learn to play myself, so it's pretty sweet to see more people's takes on just jamming out with them.
Thank you!
This sounds amazing!!! I love it.
Thank you!
Отлично!
Thank you!
Превосходно!
thank you!
please tell me the material of your strings.
In this video I'm using D'Addario prelude viola strings for the lower 2 (viola c and g string) and a D'Addario prelude 1/4 scale cello A string for the highest.

@@HavocHarpa Thank you very much, have a nice time (I hope this expression is not rude)
So good!

🔥🔥🔥
Ty!
Where did you get your tagelharpa? I love the sound and am looking to upgrade from my current one
Thank youm I made all the ones I play. Hoping to start selling them sometime soon.
hello souds great! what materials do you use for the strings? greetings from argentina
Thank you! I'm using steel d'addario prelude viola strings and a 1/2 scale cello string
What is the tuning of the strings? Beautiful playing!
Thank you. Should be c3 g3 c4
I am very impressed this sounds wicked…And I can see you have all the moves… thanks for the sharing….fantastic…..mad..🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕
Ty!
Gorgeous. I've never seen this instrument played before. Where is it from?
Thank you! I made this one but there are quite a few different makers out there, all with very different sounding instruments.
Its a traditional instrument from scandinavia
Absolutely amazing. Where do you get a tagelharpa? And how did you learn? I would love to start.
I made this one, there are a lot of them for sale on Etsy but make sure they have a sound sample. I may start selling some soon to fund making more of them (I enjoy it). As for playing, I just sat down and tried to make it sound good, I learn best by doing usually 🤷♂️

@@HavocHarpa really hope you get better soon. I wish you all the best.
Incredible.
God bless you sir.
Thank you!
Я после литра водки смагу сыграть и лучше на черепах
Awesome!! Where did you get your instrument??
Thank you! I made it :)
