Väsen and a Guild sighting
Väsen is a Swedish folk band featuring a regional instrument called a nyckelharpa. It's a sort of keyed violin. Discovered them several years ago on A Prairie Home Companion and have been a fan since. A couple of their more popular tunes are "The 39 Year Jig" and "Josefin's Waltz", which was written for the christening of one of the bandmember's daughter.
First, Väsen performing "Josefin's Waltz".
Then The Evergreen Band doing a very nice arrangement of it - with the Guild (D35?).
Melodic, Rhythmic, Percussive, and Scandinavian!
