Soniccouture releases Nyckelharpas - Scandinavian Keyed Strings

Familiar yet somehow different, the sound of the Nyckelharpa walks a delicate line. Dating from the middle ages, Nyckelharpa translates as ‘keyed fiddle’ in Swedish.

The pitch of the notes is altered by pressing a wooden key, which frets the string. There are also 12 sympathetic strings, added in the mid 1700s, possibly inspired by the viola d’amore. They serve to add resonance, volume and a general zing to the sound.

This product features two different harpas: the standard viola pitch instruments, and an 'octavharpa', a cello tuned model.

Featuring viola + cello tuned nyckelharpas, our modelling dismantles the sound of this fascinating instrument, and rebuilds it with detailed user control over every element.

Fully Kontakt Player & NKS ready.

Price: $139

$97 INTRO OFFER - 30% OFF: PRICE AS MARKED - ONLY UNTIL NOVEMBER 26TH
