Byss-Calle was the greatest nyckelharpa player of all time - or so they say! He's been a great teacher despite being dead since 1847. I've been working my way through all his tunes. The date of World Nyckelharpa Day falls on the closest Sunday to his birthday. So this module is dedicated to him! The World Nyckelharpa Day playlist of his tunes is nearly complete - my playlist will take considerably longer. But this module will include all the versions, ensembles and dots. If you want to get your hands on it you'll have to become a subscriber to my website! Byss-Calle tunes are so awesome that for April Fool's Day 2024 I did a little news bulletin about the new Byss-Callemärke. That news item is at the bottom of the page.
I have been working my way through many of his tunes. Below are links to either a performance video, a lesson page or a video where I have just played the harmony.
