Trallpolska after Kristian Oskarsson [Live]

Traditional Senpolska (slow dance tune) from Haverö after the fiddler Göran Lång.

I play this on a retuned D harmonica (Seydel 1847). The tuning is like an harmonic minor harmonica but with 6 draw raised a semitone.

Recorded in May 2018 at KMH in Stockholm.
Engineer: Magnus Lindström Kolterud
Special thanks to Göran Månsson who taught me this tune and helped with the arrangement.
