These "local folk" instruments are what makes music such an experience, here in Brazil we also have the "country" viola, with 12 cords instead of 6, similar principle of the Hardanger. I just love these kind of instruments.
thank you for this, beautiful playing and scenery. tracing my paternal grandmother's ancestry, all the way back to 1485, many generations from Nes, Buskerud, Norway.
I have a violin, but don't play it so well, and when I've heard about the Hardanger fiddle, i tryed to play my violin in some of its tunings and loved it! and all started from this video... thanks for your music and emotion!
My great grandma was Norwegian American that live in the mountains of west Virginia an married herself a scotsmen Im proud of my heritage I love Appalachia
I love this instrument so much that I feature a Hardanger fiddle in one of my novels. The character is a traveling tent musician who kept a diary in the late 1800s to early 1900s. (Wish I could have found a great HF photo to use for the cover!)
I confess I am not an expert on the various traditions of folk fiddling. Yet I can say that this style shares some features (e.g. danceability) with other traditions such as the Irish, Hungarian, etc. But it also has, at the least, one uniqueness if not more: It is played on the Hardanger fiddle, which has sympathetic strings that create some harmonics adding "something" to the music which is ineffable (a fancy word for sound effects that cannot be verbally described easily). The resonating strings also create a "permanent sustain" effect. Some might call it a "drone" effect. So, IMHO, this style is unique while being similar to other folk traditions in some respects.

I absolutely love this musical genre. It touches my core sensibility.
Fantastisk spel! Spiller selv, men detta var fantastisk!

Please tell me you still play it?
What a beautiful setting for an incredible little performance on one of my favorite instruments!
Reminds me so much of the music of the Appalachian Mountains

That's a really tricky rhythm there, must check again, but it seems to be 7/8... Fascinating tune. Thanks for sharing.
this ist the best i ever had ever heard
I envy everything in this video. Where you live, how you play, you're so pretty, great video! Takk for deling!
I play the violin, but I want a Hardanger fiddle now!!!

Does the Hardanger have eight strings instead of the typical four?
+Becky Scoggin Yes. Eight strings. But the bow touches only the top 4 strings.
@@jornsvendsen yes, the other 4, or sometimes even 5, are resonating strings which create that typical Hardingfele timbre.
What kind of person doesn’t like this?
Bach?
The Chines... hoHo
Запись из студии.Это какой то заповедник.
Nei, Kommenterer du bare for å provosere?

May I add a heretic thought: This music is in no way different from other folk music in other european countries.
In no way different? I think the statement says more about you than the music.
It's not a heretic thought, but an ill considered and thoughtless comment.
