Fiddling Around the Globe

also told me about another event:
A former student let me know that this group Väsen played the Cedar Cultural Center here in Minneapolis!
One of the instruments being played is called "...a "nyckelharpa" (keyed harp). It was quite popular all over Europe in the later medieval period, but the tradition more or less died out apart from some places in eastern Sweden, especially the region of Uppland." --YouTube commenter
