This instrument look like the fusion of a Harp with Violin. That's so cool. I love the sound it produce it sounds like it's a sound from the past it kind of talks to me about my ancestor. I love it (i'm European, i have roots in western europe and central europe)
I've seen a couple of attempts to play Ievan Polka on a Jouhikko/Talharpa, but this on is by faaaaaar the best. I'll definitely use this as a guide to learn it myself. Thank you!
MAN IN THE NAME OF UKKO, YOU MADE MY LIFE BETTER !! I Love this song and this instrument, i will get one someday and learn to play. You're really great !
Thank you for your comment! I'm happy to hear that! I bought the jouhikko from Staghelm Musical Instruments. If you want, please check out the URL: www.staghelm.com/
Que tipo de corda usou? Porque coloquei crina de cavalo e arrebentam na micro afinação. Coloquei corda de violão de nylon e o som sai baixo. Coloquei corda de violão de aço e não dar para colocar notas. Você tem alguma dica sobre as cordas?
Thank you for your comment! I usually use the tuning pegs and the adjustments down the strings. First I tune roughly by the tuning pegs, then tune precisely by the adjustment. And the tuning of 1st string = E4 (or F#4), 2nd = A3 (or B3) (as a drone) and 3rd = D4 (or E4) is commonly used. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thank you for your comment! I read your comment about tuning in my another video too. Thank you. My understanding is that the basic tuning of the jouhikko is the 1st string = F#4, 2nd = B3 and 3rd = E4, except alto jouhikko and bass jouhikko. This tuning is also recommended in the famous jouhikko book "The Bowed Lyre Jouhikko" (R. Nieminen 2017). I use another tuning like E4-A3-D4 too, but basically, I don't change the interval between each string. In other words, the 1st string and the 2nd string are tuned in 5ths, and the 3rd string is always one note lower than the 1st string. I hope this will help.
@@y.hattori6320 thank you very much, if you check my last community post you can see a picture of my current jouhikko, mine is an alto, and in fact I need to replace now the strings because I tried to tune it higher (like standar jouhikko) for a song and it didn't hold. I usually tune mine Bb F C I need to make sure if it's the same interval. And thanks I will check that was I have a copy of the book you mention but an old edition in Finn and I struggle with the translation so that was really helpful, I need to listen to the interval on the keyboard, I play almost by ear. So what do you think is best for an ALTO not to strain the strings (up and down from the drone)? yet again you popped in recommendations and I'm really pleased about your playing, well done! thanks also for your kindness replying
@@yidneth Thank you for your reply. I checked your community post. I think B E A or A D G (the middle string is drone) is good for alto jouhikko. The interval between each string is the same as the standard jouhikko. 1st and 2nd are tuned in fifth, and 3rd is one note lower than 1st. I used the former tuning in this video: ruclips.net/video/0AuWkXthd-w/видео.html Also, it’s possible to tune alto jouhikko in higher tuning in my opinion. I’ve played my alto jouhikko in higher tuning too (E A D): ruclips.net/video/zkVYXYb4jc8/видео.html I used fishing line strings in this video. If you tune your alto jouhikko like standard jouhikko, you’d better be careful about the strength of the tailpiece. My alto jouhikko has been broken once before because of higher tuning. The tension of strings was so strong that the string which tied the tailpiece to the body was broken. After that, I tied the tailpiece to the body with a thick wire. And any problems have not occurred since then. If you have any questions, please ask.
@@y.hattori6320 hi. Sounds really good mate and superb performance 😊 can you please tell me which one is the first string on your Instrument? Is the drone the biggest one?
@@nicolaisaia8089 Thank you for your comment! I'm glad to hear that! The first string (melody string) is the left side of the middle string on the screen, which is the closest to my right hand. Just as you said, the drone string is the biggest one, the middle one. I hope this helps you :)
