This is very helpful. I am a bass (electric) player and a pianist that has fallen in love with the hardingfele. With the help of this video and the strange fortune of being given a shattered, (now reglued) 3/4 student violin and living in an extremely loud, industrial neighborhood, I have the opportunity to pick out tunes and squeak away.
Thank you for this vídeo! I am a violin/viola player and and IB Music teacher, and I will show this vídeo in my World Music segment in class to show them how the Hardingfele works.
brought me right back to "folkemusikk halvtimen" on Sunday's when I grew up. Good job Karin. Now when the darn think is in tune, play me a rull from Voss
Thanks for taking the time to make this helpful video! I'm playing some Norwegian stuff on a regular fiddle with open troll tuning but hope to get a hardingfele. So, it is the under strings that are more unknown to me. I'll have to learn more tunes and use this BEBF# tuning. By the way, the B above A440 would be about 494 Hz.
Yeah ADAE is a total possibility. Also useful on standard fiddle/violin, and likely safest. I have tuned violins up a half step before but it’s a stretch for them. I actually prefer the feel and sound of flatter than sharper, like GCGD or Ab/Db/Ab/Eb
Sorry it has taken me a while to respond to your comments. I am going to be making a trollstemt tuning video soon! My fiddle is made by Bjarne Øen of Bø in Telemark. You can find information about purchasing Hardanger fiddles at the Hardanger Fiddle A ssociation of America's website hfaa.org or on our Facebook page. Good luck fiddling!
Is there any possibility that you could make a video about ohw to tune the hardanger fiddle "trollstemd"? That would have been so helpful too!! =) Thank you!
@UC4qDNAcK2U8fCZABdKdvDdw I know it's tuned a whole step higher than a standard Violin because it's a bit smaller. Some people like to have it tuned the same way as a Standard Violin because it might be ideal for their singing or perhaps playing w/ Piano.
I had a neighbor from Sweden (we worked on vintage motorbikes and American hot rods). We had another local resident who Gave No Fucks that the guy living right next door worked 11PM-9AM. I suggested playing Hardanger at the offender, my neighbor cringed; why? In a way it reminds me of 12 string guitar and early pedal steel country music
Hey.. who cares when you are dealing with the obvious. Do you know the difference between a "flatfele" and a "hardangerfele?" Well, on a "flatfele" you play on the intestines from a cat, while playing "hardingfele" it sounds like you are playing on the whole cat....

Where will you buy understrings?
Great video! I would also like to see a Trollstem tutorial :)
Thank you so much for this =)
I tune mine to A=440 because it's a much mellower sound

Hello Karin! Please upload some of your playing.
You can hear where Grieg got the opening for Morning Mood in the under strings.
It's a very pretty piece that everyone likes.

Thank you. Who's the maker of this great-sounding Hardingfele?
I see you posted this 11 years ago.
Is it in tune yet?😅
They say the sympathetic strings should be able to play “Morning Mood” by Edvard Grieg, right? At least in this tuning…
Steel strings?

Please,- Hardangerfele OR Harding Fiddle.

Hardingfele or Hardanger fiddle, not Hardangerfele or Harding Fiddle.
