NAP0010: Freng Psalmodikon
This
Psalmodikon was brought from Norway in 1866 by Peder Freng, who is the great
great grandfather of the present owners, Jean Silvey and Ruby Cutts. The
family settled in the area of Yankton, SD. This Psalmodikon measures 31"
long, 4-1/2" wide and 1-3/4" deep. This Psalmodikon is slightly
different from most of them in that it has "two" strings but perhaps
they were both tuned to the same key.
NAP0011: Rosvasholm Psalmodikon
This
Psalmodikon was brought from Norway to Brookings County - South Dakota by
Johannes Anderson Rosvasholm 1826-1892. In place of his father who was the
"Klokker", Johannes (14) was given the honor to play the Psalmodikon
and lead the choir and congregation in singing on his Confirmation Day.
Eugene Holm, his grandson, now plays the Psalmodikon.
