Thanks Anna and Mel. Not sure what happened there - I've seen both instruments played live in our studio and should've known better. Sometimes at the end of a long day (I also host "Soundcheck" here at 2pm each day) Mister Brain goes to sleep while Mister Mouth continues working...

oh oh oh oh!!!!
Please go and research the nyckelharpa properly before saying that it involves turning a wheel! They might be contemporaneous and have the same method of stopping the strings, but the nyckelharpa is bowed and they really they do sound very very different! (I know I'm repeating Mel here, but I couldn't not say something!!!!)
Great show though! Thanks for making it available online so I could hear it.
John should be informed that the nyckelharpa is played with a bow--NOT a wheel like the hurdy-gurdy. See a nice picture at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyckelharpa The two instruments have little in common when it comes to playing and application. The nyckelharpa is much more like a violin.
Very good show. Thanks for broadcasting. Good music indeed. There is so much good music coming out of Scandinavia in recent years.
