Hardanger Violins

We love Hardanger fiddles. What beautiful instruments they are. Works of art which can bring such joy.

What are they? Hardanger fiddles are traditional Norwegian fiddles that have four top strings like a violin and four or five sympathetic strings which ring while the fiddle is played making a fantastic sound.
  Interested?  They are often very ornate.

Each is an individual – yes really!  Like you and me, they each have their own distinctive voice. No two are ever quite the same.

And what a voice! Who would believe that a small wooden instrument with strings could be capable of stirring the whole human range of emotions? Amazing!

And the downside? They are like hens teeth to find! Especially if you live outside Norway! Even there they are not easy to track down. SO..my partner and I have spent a few years researching and finding a way to make high quality hardanger fiddles true to the tradition but simpler and cheaper.
