Day 26 ~ Norway (Hardanger Fiddle)


A less-stringed cousin of the sarangi? 
(Not only for it's sympathetic strings, but for it's history of intrigue and controversy . . . )  





Away from the fiddle a moment, but not away from Norway ~ enjoy this Nordic Lullaby by our friend, Ole Andreassan.



Back to the fiddle, & A Whole List of Lovely Links to click on:

The Hardanger fiddle is often played along with foot stamping, as it is in this video from a Folk Museum which features 2 young dancers.  


What is better than a Hardanger Fiddle?  Why 8 Hardanger Fiddles, of course!  


This 40-day Virtual World Tour of Music correlates with the World Music House kickstarter crowdfund. (Click the orange words for more details!)
