Nyckelharpa — providing the perfect soundtrack for the perfect party for more than 600 years!
Discover how this unique Swedish folk instrument, with its wooden typewriter-like keys and small bow, made its way from the 16th-century country farms of Uppland, Sweden, barely escaped extinction in the mid-1900s, and has regained its proper standing as one of the world’s most fascinating and magical musical instruments.
Today, the nyckelharpa is winning the hearts of modern musicians and audiences around the room and across the globe.
Includes pop-up performances and demonstrations throughout the Historic Turnblad mansion.
