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).

„Allein unter Zithern gibt es eine ungeheure Vielfalt, aber allen ist gemein, dass unser aller Sinne und Seelen mitschwingen in ihrem Klang, ebenso wie uns alle die gleiche Luft verbindet, und wir alle ein Herz in uns tragen, das schlägt.

Musik ist mehr als Rauschen. Am Leben sein ist mehr als Existenz.“

Ein Foto einer unfertigen Zeichnung auf einem Schreibtisch, nebst Zeichenfeder und Graphitgriffel. Die Zeichnung zeigt drei merkwürdige Zitherartige Instrumente nebeneinander, darüber und um sie herum Text in einer fremden Sprache, in einer Schrift, die entfernt an insulare Mediavalschriften erinnert. Die Zithern wurden mit Tusche nachgezeichnet, während die Schrift nur mit Graphit vorgeschrieben ist. Der untere Teil der Zeichnung ist mit einem anderen Blatt verdeckt, vermutlich um die Zeichnung nicht zu verwischen.

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.

Somehow ended up thinking about this quote earlier, which often feels relevant in so many ways.
“The sistrum makes it clear that all things in existence need to be shaken, or rattled about, and never to cease from motion but, as it were, to be woken up and agitated when they grow drowsy and torpid." (Plutarch, Moralia, Book 5, “On Isis & Osiris,” section 63)
Also great excuse to share a photo of my sistrum, which I believe I haven't done on this account yet. #Philosophy #Antiquity #Instrument

This is my multi-timbral Roman-style sistrum (31cm, 12 inches tall) made by Matt Nolan, a cymbal maker from the UK, who based this model on roman originals, but also expanded the sonic possibilities. This is done by using various rod configurations (fixed/close, half-sliding, or fully-sliding/open) and using combinations of the 6 jingle sets (3 bronzes: B8, B10 or B15, nickel-silver, brass, and alternating steel-aluminium). In the photo, 3 jingle sets are on the sistrum. The other 3 are in piles next to the instrument. The sistrum has a round solid-brass handle decorated with 2 narrow rings near the top and a ball-pommel. The top of the handle has a flat base. The large balteus (Roman sword belt)-shape hoop; basically a flat bronze plate that is narrow on the ends, but widest in the middle, which is then bent to form an upside-down U, is attached to the base and handle. Running horizontally through the central area within the hoop are three rods, on which the jingles are set. When shaken, these will collide with one another and the inside of the hoop, though of course, depending on the rod configurations, these can also rattle in the frame and slide around, and the hoop can be muted or ring like a bell.
