Lovely! I’m excited to see more music by you! This had such a nice, cheerful sound. I think the Hardanger fiddle is one of the most wonderful instruments ever! Is this more than one tune?

[@olmification]

It’s a nice instrument, indeed. This one is actually a normal fiddle that I got rebuilt. So now it’s some kind of Hardanger fiddle, with 5 top strings and 5 sympathetic strings. Hugnad is just one long tune :)

I agree, I was in Oslo and play one, I felt love, so nice to hear and play

Beautiful guys!! Love the richness of sound you have, very special! Wondering what mics you used for recording?

[@olmification]

Thank you! We used a pair of cmc5 and a Wa84

[@violin_phonix]

@@olmification Thanks for the info! :)

Awesome. Is the hardanger you're playing here a hybrid of sorts? It almost looks like a 5 string violin with the added sympathetic strings.

[@olmification]

It’s a 5 string hardanger fiddle in A, so a hybrid is a good description.
