Talharpa/Tagelharpa/Stråkharpa is a traditional Swedish instrument.
This is a bowed lyre, which has its own deep timbre of sounding and is suitable for solo playing or for playing in a group.
Its overtone-rich sound is great for creating a Nordic atmosphere of ancient skalds and entering trance states.

The instrument soundboard tells us the story of the hero Sigurd who kills the dragon Fafnir to claim his treasure. Fafnir was once a man but transformed into a dragon due to his greed. After defeating the dragon, Sigurd gains not only the gold but also wisdom by tasting Fafnir's blood.
