my new christmas present

So, I got the Harpeleik for christmas, a norvegian instrument that’s just meant to play basic major chords. I think it’s very beautiful nevertheless, especially after I got it in tune, and I wanted to share it here. We got it from a guy who doesn’t play it anymore really, so he gave it to us. It’s got 64 strings, with seven rows of major chords. From bottom to top, they are b, e, a, d, g, c, and f. And of course, there’ll be an audio sample of it too, where I play the chords from bottom to top first, and then some improvisation. By the way, you use a ring which goes on your thumb to play it. Enjoy!
