Langeleik
The Langeleik is a traditional stringed musical instrument from Norway. The instrument has one melody string, like a monochord, but it has additional bourdon strings , usually 7 or 8 on modern instruments, but older ones had fewer, most often four bourdon strings. The frets under the melody string are placed such that it can only play a major scale (around A major, however it is referred to C major for the ease).
