| Description: | The Hardingfele, or Hardanger Fiddle, is a member of the violin family and is consideredthe national instrument of Norway. The Hardingfele looks like a richly ornamented violin. Much of the decoration is done with pearl and or abalony, and ebony inlay, and ink drawings called rosemalling. The peg head on a Hardingfele is usually a lion's head or dragon head with an ornate crown. The Hardingfele also has a second set of strings, so eight in all where a traditional violin only has four. The lower set of strings are sympathetic strings and vibrate to harmonic vibrations as the upper strings are played. The lower set of strings run under the finger board and through the middle of the bridge. |
