A Musician friend of mine "built one".. a few years ago. Below is an image of the identified-parts of the Nyckelharpa and below that; an image of the one my friend built. After it was finished, he offered me some leftover Sitka Spruce.. which I accepted. Beautiful clear/straight-grain wood.. just like they used to use in the Golden-Age of aircraft construction.

A person who builds guitars is known as a "Luthier". I can't say/don't know what you'd name a person who builds these instruments.

My friend built the instrument (image) below.

Below; a youtube link to a Mr. Thomas Roth, playing the instrument.

An interesting combination of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen.

I have not heard of any special name for those who build them around here, perhaps it is simply included under "Luthiers".

It used to be quite popular to build them, with books and courses held in the 70- 80-ties. But these days I think it is only the older the generations that are interested and the knowledge is in risk of getting lost.

The first picture above is not actually a "nyckelharpa" as it uses a rotating wheel. The nyckelharpa is played with a bow, like the one your friend has build.

The video above is not very representative of how the instrument is used regularly, this is more the traditional music played on midsummer's eve:

Thanks much for the acknowledgement Krister. Can't get much more accurate an account; than would come from you there in Sweden. I Love This Forum!

As far as interest and knowledge is concerned; we have hopefully added some intel to any future web-queries through keyword-searches.. as long as the CEF sustains.

That instrument, in English speaking countries at least, is commonly called a Hurdy-Gurdy.

For some reason roddie it reminds me of the Balalaika featured in the movie Dr. Zhivago and Laras's theme.  Haunting with the ice covered branches tapping on the window early in the movie.  

Can you play the balalaika? Engineer: Can she play? She's an artist! Gen. Yevgraf Zhivago: Ah, then it's a gift…

I plagiarized it, should have put the authors name. lol!

Whats on the bench today, since lockdown I have assembled seven firearms. I got to get out more.
This is soon to be outlawed by the alphabet squad. I will need a tax stamp.
