The Alto Étude No. 020 is a four-row nyckelharpa tuned in CGDA, with a 400 mm scale length. Its balanced, nuanced voice combines a strong presence in the mid and upper registers with clear, open projection.
The arched Korina top and back are designed to encourage a responsive, resonant sound. Solid-carved Korina ribs provide structural stability and acoustic continuity. This instrument features walnut keys and a Padauk tailpiece.
The Alto Étude model offers an accessible introduction to the nyckelharpa, with careful attention to build quality, playing comfort, and tonal character.
