[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 81040, member: 16"] Re: Choir miking Tim.... That's a Swedish nyckelharpa or "key fiddle" similar in concept to the hurdy-gurdy in how the tangents stop the strings to make the notes. They use a short bow instead of the wheel of the hurdy-gurdy. Four bowed strings and 12 sympathetic strings. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyckelharpa]Nyckelharpa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] The harps are the Finnish kantela. They vary in size from the five string up to 30 or 40 some strings. They are of the same family as the bandura, zither and other harps which have the strings stretched over the sound board rather than the "concert" and folk harps which have one end of the strings fastened to a sound box.
