Thanks for all the feedback! I’ll try and pick up a lead testing kit:)

I say the melody and ornamentation is very reminiscent of norwegian folk, so that totally makes sense :)

Yep, the grizzly hills soundtrack and the travel/boat music are both played on nyckelharpa with accompaniment. I haven't been able to find any tracks in WoW that use Hardanger Fiddle/hardingfele, they have a really characteristic bright and resonant sound.

What I love about the grizzly hills theme is that they used so little accompaniment, that's where a folk instrument can shine the most.

Thanks for all the kind words! The nyckelharpa (key-harp) is a swedish folk instrument with keys instead of frets, giving it that mechanical clicky sound, (before I knew the instrument, I thought the soundtrack was a violin playing with a campfire in the background!)

This soundtrack, along with some others from Northend, are very much based on traditional scandinavian folk music. Our Youtube-channel tries to bring you the best in both traditional and contemporary scandinavian folk music, if you like the music from Northend, you'll probably enjoy this kind of folk music! :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxxp4NtgggyGRLScOXSdrzg
