Nyckelharpa Heaven
Esbjörn Hogmark's workshop I had the good fortune to visit renowned nyckelharpa builder Esbjörn Hogmark at his home near Tobo, Sweden and see how nyckelharpas are built. There are man y rooms with wood in various stages of aging and pieces. Pictured above is the workbench area where the final pieces are put together. Esbjörn knew Eric Sahlström himself, and learned nyckelharpa building alongside him, and Esbjörn is considered by many to be the best nyckelharpa builder in Sweden. He was incredible generous in showing me his work and we played some Eric Sahlström tunes together, that Esbjörn learned from Sahlström himself.
