Nykelharpa for sale - UK

I'm selling a Nykelharpa. This is the one I bought from Sam Pirt when he advertised it on Mudcat a while back.

It was made by Olle Plahn and is a three row chromatic as seen here and comes with a bow and a wooden case.

I wanted either a nykelharpa or a gurdy to play with and I think I chose the wrong one so it's going for what I paid for it - £1600.

If you're interested then PM me or contact me via my web site .

If I've still got it in two weeks I'll be taking it to Sidmouth for folks to try out.

You might want to list this on http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/nyckelharpa/ there are over 200 members of the nyckelharpa yahoo list. (or if you want i can post a message there for you)

There is also an organization for 'harpa enthusiasts...here:
http://www.nyckelharpa.org/

I would love to upgrade to another instrument, but,alas, my budget does not allow!

best of luck. (did you enjoy playing it? What tunes did you learn?)
I spend a week each June at scandinavian music and dance camp learning new tunes!

Thanks Les. I must fill in some of the gaps. I've got recordings and pictures of most of the bands - it's just a matter of remembering to devote a bit of time to it.

The harpa is now sold. Now - shall I buy a hurdy-gurdy, a nice long neck banjo or put a deposit down on a Hardanger fiddle? Decisions!
