Nychekharpa is a traditional Swedish musical instrument.
It is a string instrument or chordophone. Its keys are attached to tangents which, when a key is depressed, serve as frets to change the pitch of the string.

This custom started in edo period (1603-1867) and japanese women put broken needles on tofu or devil's tongue to rest and wished for their improvement of needle works and safety.
