    Default Got Nyckelharpa? (or any other Scandinavian music)

    As you may or may not know, I am currently working on a mod for ETW set in Northern Europe and focused on Scandinavia. The mod takes place from 1700 to 1820, and features both the devestation of the Great Northern War and the division caused in Scandinavia at the outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars.

    At the mods beginning, the most powerful faction is Sweden. An alliance is forged between various nations trying to stop the spread of the Svea Rike. My mod is focused on Scandinavia, and at this time, Scandinavia was focused on Sweden. Thus, I have decided to try and include some traditional Svensk music, and what could be more traditional than a nyckelharpa? Unfortunately, nyckelharpan are difficult to come by, so I need to start searching for a Nyckelharpist early. Only 10,000 people in Sweden play the Nyckelharpa, combined with only 150 in America and only a few in other European countries.

    So, if you play (or know someone who plays) the Nyckelharpa, I'd be more than happy if you contributed some music to the mod.

    However, this is not just a Sweden mod, it is a Scandinavia mod, so I will also accept other traditional Scandinavian music contributions. For more information on my mod, and other ways you can help out, visit

    Do you know the band "Hedningarna"? Some tracks might be what you are looking for. I donīt know if they are really traditional, but I think that they would fit very good into your mod-description.
