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.
