The Repair
Happy! Keybox plate, left, held by clamps on the workbench All the kings horses, and all the kings men... if by all the horses and men you mean me and a builder based in Columbus, Ohio! My nyckelharpa was successfully fixed over the course of four hours or so on January 8th, 2023. The key box plate needed to be re-glued, dried by the wood stove (pictured in top photo above), a new high G tangent carved (took the longest), and all the keyed fit back into place like a jigsaw puzzle. It was definitely a two person job. I am very thankful my instrument looks and sounds unscathed!
