Feel the rumble of ancient sagas. The Bass Talharpa (also known as Tagelharpa or Jouhikko) isn't just an instrument—it's a relic brought back to life. This legendary bowed lyre from the early Middle Ages was the soundtrack for Viking skalds along misty fjords. Now, its deep, powerful voice is yours to command. Built with Legendary Craftsmanship
A Body Carved from Power: We honor history by hand-shaping the body from a single, solid block of gorgeous ash. Its rounded, hollowed form isn't just for looks; it's engineered to amplify resonance, making every note feel alive. The unique grain of the ash ensures your instrument is a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
A Soundboard That Projects: The top is crafted from carefully selected resonant spruce, chosen to deliver the volume and rich acoustic clarity this powerful instrument demands.
Shielded for the Ages: Treated with premium segment oil wax, your Talharpa is protected from the elements, preserving its stunning look and structural integrity for a lifetime of play.
The Voice of the North This is where the magic happens. We’ve equipped this bass Talharpa with metal cello strings to produce that profoundly deep, resonant, and soul-stirring tone that evokes the mystique of the North. Tuned in the traditional quart-fifth system (often starting on A1), it creates a rich, harmonic foundation. Use A2 as your lead vocal string, or experiment with tunings like A1-D2-G2. The tension is your playground—adjust it to unlock a world of sonic possibility. Your Handmade Epic, Delivered Complete This is a testament to slow, careful craftsmanship. Each Bass Talharpa is handmade over two weeks, meaning subtle variations make your instrument uniquely yours. It arrives ready for your saga, complete with:
A genuine horsehair bow, crafted for authentic play.
A durable, water-resistant carry case—included as our gift to protect your investment on every journey.
