Thread Name: Langspil, an old instrument
Subject: RE: Langspil .........an old instrument
Thanks, skarpi. I've heard the langspil before, and I must admit that I feared it would sound very harsh, but no. The videos you suggest are enjoyable.
Another good thing is that clicking on your link brings up a number of other interesting instruments such as the epinette and the dulcimer and others whose names I don't even know.
As you say, listen and look.
I play fretted dulcimer. My newest piece is "He is an Englishman" from HMS Pinafore.
I'm so sorry to hear about the crisis in your beautiful country. I hope everything works out.
