I've posted a new song. I hope you'll enjoy it.

I've finished my 3 string talharpa. It took me about 2 days to complete.
I used concert ukulele strings and tuned it to open D major (ADF#)
It doesn’t sound great bowed (so it’s not yet a talharpa)… But when played with a bottleneck and a guitar pick, it sounds great, a bit like a koto !
I'll try with another kind of rosin (more suitable for nylon strings) and maybe make my own bow.

I've upgraded my homestudio by adding a good condenser microphone. This will be a great replacement for the line output of my amplifier which have a lot of annoying noise. In addition this microphone will allow me to record some accoustic instruments.

I'm also building a small bowed string instruments inpired by the scandinavian tagelharpa. It will have two or three strings (I'm not sure yet) and probably be tuned to open D.

This EP is a tribute to Sunn O))) and Ennio Morricone.
Interpreted and recorded live by Frederic Minne (aka Heiffhem) on Friday November the 13th 2020 at Studio LaRamée in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
Instruments used : Baritone guitar, effects, ebow, violin bow, drumstick.
