Test your Ears : Nyckelharpa or Violin ??

1 vio (sounded hard and dry)
2 vio (ping)
3 nh (deep resonant)
4 nh (guess)
5 vio (sounded dry)
6 nh (sounded soft and round)
Have to go :) Maybe edit if I continue listening :)

I did the quiz without any warning. I got an 18/20. the two I got wrong they were GOOOOOD!! This quiz was HARD, because there some with the bands that drowned out the sympathetic strings, and the keys. #6 was so good, I didn't listen for the keys; they were there keys, what tricked me was the brightness of the instrument. #4 threw me off was the warmness of the fiddle. Awesome quiz! Thanks so much!😊

Got 19/20, No 17 is the one I got wrong. Thank you very much! I totally enjoyed this!

J'ai eu 18/20, j'ai raté la 2 et la 6. Merci pour tes vidéos !!!🤗

Dang. My pride just took a big hit. I was certain that this would be a breeze, but I guess that I don’t listen to enough of this genre of music. I didn’t mistake any nyckelharpas for fiddles, but several of the fiddles deceived me into thinking that they were nyckelharpas.

I got 19/20 🤦 I missed #6. Lovely selections! Thank you!

I got 15 correct. Only once did I say fiddle when it was actually nyckelharpa, the rest were the other way. Fun! I may try again in a month or two....

Sorry I was listening, I love the skandi music that I have heard.

I got 16 correct, and 4 unsure which I count as wrong... The fiddle is real easy to pick out for sure, and most of the time when unsure it might be nyckelharpa.. The fiddle is just more agile....

17 - it's the foot stomping/percussion that tricked me

Interesting exercise !
14/20 My excuse is that I'm French, so not that used to hearing nyckelharpa. (Hidden message: please come to France and play polska. I love it so much, music and dance. The deep sound of nyckelharpa is just awesome.)

I got 19. No 6 wrong ... I was very unsure about that one. I could hear what must have been the clicking of the keys, but I couldn't hear anything else in the sound that sounded like nyckelharpa to me so I convinced myself that noise might be just some sort of other percussion. good game!

Thank you for this quest.I was wrong in 6 and 16. Some tracks have benn a little bit difficult. So it is only a 18 of 20

Got 20 out of 20. Cheers from Wisconsin, USA.

I got 12. All the wrongs are taking fiddles for nikkelharpa. 😊

This was really fun! :D I got 19/20, the one I was really uncertain of and got wrong was number 6. (I could have paused and listened again but I felt it was cheating)

I only got one wrong! I have only been playing Nykelharpa for a couple of months, but, I have been a little obsessed of late!

Awesome video, love em both .

A very fun exercise. I had a mistake in the sixth fragment. Thank you! 👏👏

I missed 4, No 18 really threw me off because of the two fiddles. The droning was a give away. I didn't hear any clacking of the keys that is normally heard with the nyckelharpa. I did better than I thought I would, despite my lack of musical tallent.

I'm in shock. My audiophile status shattered. "Fun, and so easy! Must be, I mean. Let's do it quickly." But only 17 out of 20 ... (Missed 4, 6, 12.)
Phew. I found someone to blame. Fiddler Svante Pettersson! That's the only folksy violin playing I've heard (but for some Cape Breton fiddling on record): VERY classical in tone, no resonance strings. Love his album:

18/20. I might have been listening to too much Scandinavian folk lately 😂
I loved the songs you chose and will be checking them out!

Well now, that was a fun little game! Got them all right, although I wouldn't necessarily say that makes me a Scandifolk nerd... At least not as much as I might like. But, there's still plenty of time and music to learn.

20/20 so fun! And great music ❤

I want a Nycleharpa . I think it's an emotional and haunting instrument. Similar to Hurdy Gurdy . Takk

That was fun! 17--pretty good since I don't listen so much these days.

Good game, 13/20

Number 6 fooled me. Guess something around the way it was recorded - or perhaps I just need more coffee :)

kinda 18 out of 20. Definitely got 12 wrong...on 19, I called the two fidddles, but mistook the instrument that had the resonant strings on.
All of them are beautiful!
That said, I nailed Gavin Pennycook: I got his album a few years ago, and often listen to it when I go to sleep. What I didn't recognize were both Amper samples, which surprised me, because I have a few of her recordings, and she features in my night-listening lists. It's not insomnia, it's something everyone in the family pretty much falls into over 60 years of age. Music makes it better, Nyckelharpa makes it better still!
Thank you for your videos, Emelie!

Yeyyyy! I love that, I want more quizzes !!!! :-D
I hadn't seen the previous video but I hear a lot of fiddles and nyckelharpas in my day-to-day life. It wasn't enough for perfection, though, I have one mistake ;-) I'll go watch the other one. Thank you Emelie! Such a good idea.

Assumed you would do 50/50 (Swiss/Swedish thing)so ending up with more fiddles than Nh listened back and changed some,perhaps more luck than judgment. Listening to your recommendations,it’s astonishing what top players (obviously including you) can achieve.

Considering I had missed your previous video I'm quite happy with myself having gotten a 20/20. Even more happy having discovered some excellent artists I had been unaware of.
Also; hell yeah, Bulgarian folk music! Are you planning on getting a Gadulka anytime soon? Also any preference for regions? Really curious what you're into!

The first ones were tricky because my ear hadn't listened to Scandi Folk in a few days, so it took some of them to get used to the sounds again. And the last ones were tricky because we got multiple violins (especially number 19, with that double-string violin!). But I still got 15/20 correct, including a streak from numbers 7 through 16. Quite proud of myself, I must admit. And it was a fun exercise.

Jag hör när nycklarna klickar när man spelar på nyckelharpa och det låter renare medan på fela hör jag att det låter lite varmare

But where are all the bagpipes!?

I got about 75% correct.

OOh Ok Ok Ok I got this... Ok I got it... Lets see.... um.... the one in the left hand is a..... Gimme a sec,,,, Hurdy gurdy and in the right a Viola. BOOOOYAHH!!! WHO IT THE GREATIST!!! THIS GUY!!

11 know - 1 guess - 2 nonguess - 6 wrong

13 out of the 20

4!😢😅❤

14/20 :(
