- In this video. I go over what type of of materials you can use for your tagelharpa/talharpa and the best ways you can tune them. this was a requested topic from a viewer, and I had already answered them in a DM, but I thought I would make the video anyway to answer this question for future viewers who want to know. I hope you find this information helpful. Don.t forget to check out my music listed below.

Loved this video!!! Very cool!!!
I always swear to black(to make them look like horsehair) nylon strands when making strings,- they dont break,dont react to temperature/light/moisture and when they settle on the instrument,they more or less stay tuned. There is little to no difference in the sound of those two from what i`ve heard...
Yeah, but it's also on personal preference on how traditional you want to be and what your desired goal is into playing such an instrument, for instance, live shows versus only desiring to play at home with a few friends. For me, the switch would need to be the former if I were to get anything that didn't fight me for stability. The same goes for changing my friction legs for mechanical tuners. I also tend to leave whatever the luthier who built the instrument on as it was that instruments intention to use those materials. The only exception is if I custom order a tagelharpa for a mixture of causal playing and live performances, then I can switch the instrument to whatever I need to manage that situation. But, that instrument would also need a built-in piazo pickup for various reasons.
How to change strings?
Changing strings varies on how the instrument is made. Mine has parts similar to a violin, so the way it is strung is quite similar. Basically, if I wanted to change them, I just hook one end (which has a knot) to the string cradle on the tailpiece and the other end (has another knot) through the groove on corresponding turning peg. Some instrument builders don't use friction pegs like mine and instead use modern tuning mechanisms. I really haven't had to change my stri gs since I purchased my instrument back in 2021 due to the fact that mine are made of horsehair and synthetic horsehair, which lasts for a long time depending how often you play the instrument. This is probably the reason I haven't made such a video.
no offence but that kinda looks like ed sheerans tagelharpa if he ever had one haha
What?
