The ramkie, AKA blik kitaar or oilcan #guitar is an #instrument from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Malawi. First mentioned in 1730 among the Khoekhoe, it derives from a lute, possibly the nanthuni, brought to the Cape by slaves from Malabar, southwestern India. Originally it had a gourd body, which later was replaced with an oilcan or similar. The name ramkie likely derives from the Portuguese rabaquinha (little violin).

Whenever I am at my friend's recording studio, I end up taking more pictures of this Hammond B3 organ, Its sound is so important to modern music and its somewhat antiquated look just begs for a photograph. -- Douglas

regina_nyckelharpista

The nyckelharpa is a folk instrument from Sweden 🇸🇪 with a long standing tradition there. "Nyckelharpa" is a Swedish word, "nyckel" meaning "key" and "harpa" being a general term for a stringed instrument. Its key features (hah, see what I did there?) are the sympathetic strings and a keybox full of wooden keys. Some translate it into English to "keyed fiddle" 🗝️ 🎻 "viola de teclas" in Spanish or "viola d'amore a chiavi" in Italian - although it is not a fiddle or viola ;)

How it works: I produce the sound with a bow on the strings, like on any other bowed instrument, but instead of touching the strings with the fingers of my left hand and pushing them down on a fretboard or fingerboard to play a melody, I press a key. The key moves a little wooden tangent to the string and tada, the note changes 🎉 The magical sound of the nyckelharpa is created from its sympathetic strings (usually 12) which are enhancing every note I play on the four melody strings.

If you want to hear some nyckelharpa music, you're welcome on my duos bandcamp aklejafolk.bandcamp.com or search for "Akleja" wherever you like to stream music. More names you can look for there are Josefina Paulson, Hazelius Hedin, Emilia Amper, Väsen, Daniel Pettersson / Sotali, Erik Rydvall - there are so many FANTASTIC players out there! 😭

The instrument pictured here was made by Mats Wester.

A close-up of the keybox and keys (some have gold paint on them) of a nyckelharpa. You can see the delicate carving job the luthier did on the key heads and instrument. On the right you can see the wooden pegs that touch the strings to change the note and some sympathetic strings next to the highest playing string.
A closeup of the head stock of a nyckelharpa. You can see the four big friction pegs that hold the melody strings and mechanics on the left and right side of the head, holding the twelve sympathetic strings. The headstock design is elegant and light and there is some decorations burnt into the wood.
A close-up of one of the f-holes on the soundboard of a nyckelharpa. You see the distinct outline of the body and a traditional decorative pattern burnt next to the rim. In the corners, these form little flowers. On the right side you can see the bridge and a lot of strings (thick ones for melody playing, thin ones are sympathetic strings) going over it. The wood has a honey colour.

What is the national #instrument of Bashkortostan/Bashkiria?
The quray is an interdental rim-blown #flute, which I consider to be the most difficult flute type. It's often played with a vocal drone, resulting in a characteristically rich and buzzy timbre. Originally it was made from, and named after, the quray plant (Pleurospermum Uralense) and made according to palm widths for the overall length and finger widths for the hole placement.

Sometimes you just need some #harp in your life. And if so, why not the lovely Paraguayan harp? It has some marked differences in construction compared with other harps, which allows it to cope well with the tension of its 32-46 strings while making the #instrument relatively light, very responsive, and with great projection. It's tuned diatonically and played with fingernails.
This is Cascada by Digno García, played by Daniela Lorenz.
