The nyckelharpa is a traditional Swedish string instrument with a unique design featuring keys, or tangents, used to change pitch. It is played with a bow, similar to a violin, but has a distinct, resonant sound. The nyckelharpa has a history dating back to the Middle Ages and is often used in Scandinavian folk music. Its innovative key mechanism sets it apart from other string instruments.
