A nyckelharpa ("keyed fiddle", or literally "key harp", plural nyckelharpor) is a traditional Swedish musical instrument. It is a string instrument or chordophone. Its keys are attached to tangents which, when a key is depressed, serve as frets to change the pitch of the string.
The nyckelharpa is similar in appearance to a fiddle or the big Sorb geige or viol. Structurally, it is more closely related to the hurdy-gurdy, both employing key-actuated tangents to change the pitch. The nyckelharpa and its tonal range appear on the reverse of the Swedish 50 kronor banknote.
A depiction of two instruments, possibly but not confirmed nyckelharpor, can be found in a relief dating from circa 1350 on one of the gates of Källunge church on Gotland. Early church paintings are found in Siena, Italy, dating to 1408 and in different churches in Denmark and Sweden, such as Tolfta church, Sweden, which dates to circa 1460-1525. Other very early pictures are to be found in Hildesheim, Germany, dating to circa 1590.

Barockmusic on Nyckelharpa is very beautiful.
Two Swedish tunes played on a chromatic nyckelharpa made by Enar Magnusson. I don't have a name for the first; the second is 'Fager som en ros' (a song without words, for now!) Filmed by Susannah Wapshott in the beautiful surroundings of Sea Otter Cottage, near Wick on the north-east coast of Scotland. Gabi Maas - nyckelharpa
I maj 2014 lanserade svenska posten årets Europa-frimärken. Alla länder i Europa tar fram var sitt frimärke på ett gemensamt tema. Årets tema är musikinstrument, och svenska Posten valde – nyckelharpan! I samband med det gjordes denna film på Eric Sahlström Institutet. På frimärket finns Olov Johansson, huvudlärare på den ettåriga spelkursen vid Eric Sahlström Institutet. I filmen spelar han med några av eleverna på utbildningen.
