Hardanger Fiddle
A Hardanger fiddle ( no, hardingfele) is a traditional stringed instrument considered to be the national instrument of Norway. In modern designs, this type of fiddle is very similar to the violin, though with eight or nine strings (rather than four as on a standard violin) and thinner wood. The F-holes of the Hardanger fiddle are unique, oftentimes with a more “sunken” appearance, and generally straighter edges (unlike the frilly, swirly F-holes of a violin). Four of the strings are strung and played like a violin, while the rest, named understrings or sympathetic strings, resonate under the influence of the other four. These extra strings are tuned and secured with extra pegs at the top of the scroll, effectively doubling the length of a Hardingfele scroll when compared to a violin. The sympathetic strings, once fastened to their pegs, are funneled through a “hollow” constructed fingerboard, which is built differently than a violin’s, being slightly higher and thicker to ...

Knut Eilevsson Steintjønndalen
Knut Eilevsson Steintjønndalen (c. 1850 – December 2, 1902) was a Norwegian Hardanger fiddle maker from Bø in Telemark, Norway. Knut Eilevsson Steintjønndalen continued the Steintjønndal tradition when his brother Jon Eilevsson Steintjønndalen left. He married and bought the Langkås farm in the Folkestad neighbourhood, and he founded a workshop there. He experimented with making the tone more powerful by increasing the thickness of the soundboard and bottom. This feature created quite a demand for his fiddles. However, his greatest reputation came from the exquisite ornamentation on his instruments. Knut used a river pearl mussels from the river in Bø to decorate both the grip board and the tailpiece. Both the varnishing and the rose decorations had not been seen before or since. At the end of the 1800s he was considered the leading violin maker. The musicians that he created instruments for included Nils Tjoflot. He died at age 57. See also * The Helland fiddle mak ...
