Carol Thompson will give a presentation on Norwegian instruments and the practice of making them by hand. Instruments featured are the Hardanger Fiddle (Fardingfele), Langeleik, Psalmodican, Lur, Willow Flute (Seljefløyte), Munnharpe, Harpeleik, Kantele from Finland and Nyckelharpa from Sweden. A mountain dulcimer and bowed psaltry are not Scandinavian but have elements from the same instrument families previously listed. An audio of the instruments will be used so the audience will be able to hear the instrument sounds.
