    I discovered this amazing instrument with one of your shorts (Trollpolska) and I loved them (the song and the Nyckelharpa). I though it would take me years to buy one but now I think I can save money to buy one of those and in a few years, but a "real" one. Your videos are very useful, thank you so much.

    • @EmelieWaldken
      @EmelieWaldken 29 днів тому

      In short : - Polskas are in 3/4 and in-between 90 and 130 BPM. - Polkas are in 4/4 and go at 120+ BPM. They also have a very "jumpy" feeling that polskas don't have.
