- This is a traditional Norwegian violin called the Hardanger Fiddle. The tune is called Fanitullen and is played in trollstemt tuning.
I just started playing and have not had the fiddle for very long so the tuning and playing need some work but I'm excited to continue to learn!

I fell in love with this instrument when I watched a movie called 'The Polar Bear King,' a beautiful movie with beautiful music. It's one of my favorite movies of all time, and it has the hardanger fiddle in many places.
Great video with concise info about the hardanger. Thanks.
That's a beautiful instrument, someone definitely put a lot of time and skill into it. And it has a very unique sound, I'd never heard of a fiddle like that. Thank you for the demonstration.
Excellent video on a very unique instrument! Thank you very much!
Hjaltaren by Rydvall/Mjelva - you will likely love.
Just one small correction: Although there might be Hardanger fiddles with ivory inlay, the vast majority have inlay made from mother of pearl, bone from a cow or other common animal in Norway and maybe abalone.
Very interesting to me, thank you for this introduction. I recommend Rydvall/Mjelva and the track 'Hjaltaren' perhaps. It blew me away when I heard it. I subscribed to your channel.
Great explanation Wonderful video!
Beautiful! Thank you, Ms. Johnson! This made my day. 🙂
Your video was as beautiful as it was educational. I'm ready to travel to Norway and buy myself a hardanger fiddle. That was haunting, and enchanting.
Fabulous video, beautiful playing and very educational. Thanks so much.
The strings attach to the tailpiece at the bottom of the fiddle. The decorative dragon is the scroll
I love these so much that I feature a Hardanger fiddle in one of my novels. He's 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!)
so cool
does the hardanger have a sound post ? Thank you Norwegians for you contribution to the world.
It does, I found it.....well fitted too.
It is smart to learn the tune slowly. They say that if you cannot play it slowly, - you cannot play the tune fast either.
Just play it at the right speed.
I fyou can play it slowly, then you can play it quickly.
You just need to not be sacreligious or lamentable about it @@traznian
This sound touches me somehow... My soul music.
recently a young women from decorah IA played hardanger fiddle to a rapt audience on the viking mississipi when we were in a nearby port eden ehm studied at st olafs college north field MN which teaches hardanger fiddle .
Sounds pretty cool ❤️
you do realize that she is playing out of tune =)

She's right ,a beast to tune and get it to sing 😮😊
very very nice. The best maker here in the U.S. is Lyn Berg from Eugene, Oregon.
Is he still making Hardanger fiddles? I cannot seem to find him online.
Anyone?
I have no idea if he still makes fiddles. Mine was made by someone in Utah (hardingfele.com) and it was nice since he was the closest to me. I'll have to look to see if I can find Lyn Berg and if he's still making fiddles!
Here’s Lynn’s email address. lberg@peak.org
These violins are featured prominently in Hogwarts Legacy of all places! Being a violinist myself, I was curious why I was seeing nine stringed violins all over the game and led me to research into it a bit more. Which led me to this video!
Consider purchasing one?
The Hardanger Fiddle is not violin,it is it`s own instrument,the Traditional amount of strings is 8 and not 9!
And you are also forgetting that the fact it has sunken F-holes which also seperates The Hardanger Fiddle from a violin!
Hi Ari! I was wondering if I could use your very informational video in a video game pitch to explain a new instrument idea for an animated social game. This instrument fits the aesthetic of the game very well
Quite a instrument, thanks for demo/.
I’ve heard that tune somewhere. A CD I once owned that I bought when I was a teenager.
It's a popular tune on hardanger fiddle
@@charlesstockton6457 I had to do some digging, but it was on an album called The Sweet Sunny North by Henry Kaiser and David Lindley.
Can you do Golden Hour by JVKE on hardanger fiddle
Intonation. Also, you need a 4/4 beat for it to sound like a coherent dance (usually by foot tapping)
Where can I get one, original, and where to learn to tire etc
There are a few fiddle makers in the United States who could make you an instrument, or you could find a maker somewhere else in the world. Ebay also has cheaper options but I assume the quality of sound wont be the same. I got my fiddle made by Wulffenstejn Hardanger Fiddles in Utah and I love it!
I've learned many pieces on the instrument just by listening and trying to replicate what I hear but The Hardanger Fiddle Association of America can get you in touch with music and a teacher if you want to learn in a more professional way.
I just got mine yesterday!
Do you give lessons? 😃
That's so exciting!!! The day I got mine was one to remember! Where did you find yours?
@@catherinejungheim9625 I don't give lessons right now! Maybe sometime in the future :) I'm just self-taught. I watch lots of videos and am always looking for new songs to learn on the internet.
@@johnsonarianne I had it made for me by a local luthier (hardingfele.com)
Thanks for your video! 😄
Thanks! 🙂👍
This is one hard instrument to play! Great job! Some advice: Slow down, work on your intonation and rythm.
Romantic...
I need one
LADY U ARE A RARE BEAUTY. BLESS FOR YOU BLISS. I'D HAVE LIKED TO HEAR YOU PLAY THE NORAFJELLS. IT ALWAYS MAKES MY BOWELS GO STAMPEDE. REMEMBER TO TROLLSTELLE IT.
Play Rohan knights.You will do it for Rohan!!!

When I and my wife tried to talk to a woman from Hardangervidda, it was to no avail, for she talked strange and totally strange. Strangely not a word in the common or understandable. Quite and utter strange. Swedish and Norwegian is said to be mutually intelligble.
from norvay, and ... goo
Why is literally every hardanger/ hardingfele video someone explaining every detail about the instrument before playing? History, construction, tuning, cultural origin etc The vast majority of people who find these videos most likely know what it is. Pretty sure the algorithms won't send your video to clueless people (outside of rare exceptions). And there's also that 20 second wikipedia search they can do if they don't. A wall of text is absorbed in seconds compared to minutes and minutes of blathering
Stop talking... and just skip the video if you don't want to watch it
The algorithm sent my this. I saw this instrument for the first time. Listened to the history and then liked the music.😊

Playing out of tune makes it sound more authentic
Keep in mind that the players were usually self taught.
This is not to be compared to the classical violin.
Listen to a bagpipe. They are never in tune
It IS possible to tune a set of pipes.
Bagpipes are usually in tune - listen to scottish bagpipe groups.
Fiddles can be played out of tune because you make the intonation with your fingers, but it is just a matter of practice.
Bagpipes can always be tuned, unless the player is tone deaf or drunk.
The same is true of fiddles. One can train his ear by playing against a drone string. Many Scots and Irish bagpipe tunes sound good on the hardingfele, especially if it's tuned down a step. Some find bebf# used with it's short neck a little shrill for non Norwegian tunes.
Some old Norwegian tunes sound strange because they developed without foreign influence. There may have been weird scales in use back in the day. Dark and spooky notes were wrought in the gloaming of the North.
My understanding is that scales and standard pitch of notes are a little different in this music. That might make it sound out of tune when it's actually not..
it was not perfeckt but u still good have good tuneing, greatings from Trondheim =)
Ebay 59 dollars
This is a terrific lesson and performance, beautifully presented. Thank you!
You have to work on the tuning, and your technique - as it sounds false.
you should see the comments they thing its amazing but they dont understand :1
A good atempt but ways to go..
