Clarification.
- ## Til Norðheims!
Just to clarify: if you're asking about the _unfretted_ instrument, then continue on!- It's a [tagelharpa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talharpa). A [better example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOZ1g_VWzMs) and without the yowling.

- The technique seems to be similar to that used for the [morin khuur](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mks-Y_PF_7o).
