Irish Harp Music on Nyckelharpa - Mr Malone by Carolan

'Mr Malone' by Turlough O'Carolan, the famous blind harpist of 1700 Ireland, is one of the first tunes I heard in my life. The natural resonance of the nyckelharpa fits the light melancholy especially well.
And oh the fun of trying to dress and look (a bit) like Carolan !

This video is part of the World Nyckelharpa Day 2022 challenge of playing tunes from other instruments' repertoires on nyckelharpa.
