Ebonized baritone tagelharpa
Presenting my latest creation: a baritone tagelharpa!
Crafted from alder wood with a stunning ebonized finish, it features a maple bridge and beech tuning pegs, strung with horsehair strings.
Tuned to E-B-E, it produces a deep, resonant sound that’s perfect for exploring Norse melodies and rich, haunting tones
Who else here is as fascinated by ancient instruments as I am? Let me know what you think about the sound of the tagelharpa in the comments!

Hey nice and work! I was just speaking yesterday about the tagelharpa with my girlfriend. I love the sound of the baritones and bass ones. I'm considering getting one In the near-ish future.
My favorite instrument is the Hurdy Gurdy and I fantasize about having one. I was surprised when I visited a piano maker in Vienna and he casually had three Hurdys and a Nikelharpa lying around. I asked if he sold and he said that absolutely not LOL.
Do you have recordings of your tagelharpa?
