• In Meråker, a parish situated north-east of Trondheim and close to the Swedish border, an old and very special folk clarinet can be found, once played by shepherd boys.

• Only a handful of musicians keep the tradition alive, following in the footsteps of Harald Gilland who had instituted a small-scale revival of the instrument in the 1950s. Among these are Bjørn Aksdal and Geir Egil Larsen who both learned from Gilland himself and have recorded this CD to promote public interest in the Meråker clarinet, as well as honouring the memory of their teacher
