———————————————————————————————

The instruments are made to order but to limit waiting times as much as possible, we try to have at least one model of each type under making, in a more or less advanced state. Waiting times can therefore vary, usually between 2 weeks and 8 months, depending on the state of the work, the finishing and the workload at the time of the order. The waiting time will be communicated in the response to the order (i.e. before confirming the order) or following your request by e-mail.

Since the instruments are handcrafted, the measures may slightly vary as well as the tones of color because of the different colors of wood, different from plant to plant, and the alteration due to photography and the type of display monitor.

History

The Tagelharpa (also called Talharpa) is a bowed lyre orgined in northern Europe. It spread widely in Scandinavia after the Viking age and is still used in some of the northern territories (of particular importance the tradition of the Estonian islands). Its existence in medieval Scandinavia is witnessed by artistic and archaeological sources, such as the wall painting in Røldal (XII-XIII century) and the sculpture of Trondheim Cathedral (XIV century). Also widely spread its close Finnish relative, the Jouhikko.
