Answer the call of the ancient fjords. The Bass Talharpa (also known as Tagelharpa or Jouhikko) is more than an instrument—it's a piece of living history. This bowed lyre echoed through the Viking Age, providing the soundtrack for epic sagas recited by skalds. Now, you can harness its deep, resonant power. Meticulously Crafted for Legendary Tone
A Body Carved from a Single Block: Forget modern construction. We honor tradition by hollowing the body from a solid piece of beautiful ash, creating a rounded shape that amplifies resonance. The unique grain of the wood ensures every instrument is a singular work of art.
A Soundboard That Sings: The top is crafted from carefully selected resonant spruce, chosen to project a surprisingly powerful and clear tone that fills any space.
Built to Last for Generations: Treated with premium segment oil wax, your Talharpa is shielded from moisture, preserving its stunning look and structural integrity for years to come.
The Soulful, Deep Voice of the North We’ve strung this bass Talharpa with nylon strings to produce a uniquely warm, rich, and organic tone that perfectly captures the instrument's ancient spirit. It evokes the mystique of the North with every bow stroke. Tuned in the traditional quart-fifth system (often starting on A), it creates a haunting, harmonic foundation. Experiment with string tension to explore a world of subtle pitch variations and find your perfect sound. A Handmade Heirloom, Ready to Play This instrument is a testament to patience and skill. Each Bass Talharpa is handmade over three weeks, ensuring that no two are exactly alike—yours will be uniquely yours. It arrives at your door ready for adventure, complete with:
A genuine horsehair bow, crafted for authentic playability.
A durable, water-resistant carry case—included as our gift to protect your new treasure.
