Nice instrumental lineup!
Nyckelharpa is not what you hear on the average record outside of Sweden. Check the link I put on website above.
Patrik, thanks for your comment. The Nyckelharpa is pretty cool! For some reason when I saw it in the credits, I thought it was something like the Hardanger fiddle but it’s much closer to a hurdy gurdy.
Your welcome Adrian! I just thought I’d shed some light on what kind of instrument it is as it’s more common here in Sweden. And yes it’s closer to the hurdy gurdy and that name in particular sounds like the swedish chef from the Muppets. :-)
