British Session Tunes for Nyckelharpa
60 tunes, complete with suggested fingerings and double stops for the standard 3-row nyckelharpa. This book is the perfect addition to any nyckelharpa player’s bottom drawer of tunes.
A range of sources have been used, Playford, standard English session tunes and the odd self penned number. These tunes are arranged so that they can easily be played on any nyckelharpa, but both the suggested fingerings and double stoppings are for the standard C tuned, 3-row chromatic nyckelharpa.
Although this book hasn’t been compiled as a teaching material any learner would find it a useful resource. It is arranged into sections, the first section contains tunes that don’t require the player to move their hand out of first position whilst the second section goes higher up the instrument. Suggested fingerings are strewn liberally throughout this section to help the player progress through these harder tunes. They get harder as you go through the book in a progressive way to help the player increase their comfort zone and get into the ‘dusty area’. Some of the earlier tunes have had their keys have been changed to make for a fun playing experience.
