Many musical instruments are strongly linked to ethnic concepts. In this article we present and discuss two approaches for picking up the Swedish nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle): the ethnic and non-ethnic approach. The study of non-Swedish musicians shows vast differences in ways of looking upon and developing the nyckelharpa, as well as ways of playing and the type of music played. These differences can, to a lagre extent, be explained by these approaches.
