For comparison, my (usual) nyckelharpa (used in this video) is built by Bernard Dimet & Jean-Claude Condi from France, and is of middle-high price range. Also one of the strongest sounding nyckelharpas I've ever tried (including high-end ones).

I'm Emelie Waldken, I play mostly Scandinavian traditional music on fiddles and nyckelharpa. I also teach music and folk dancing.
