Setesdal Fiddle 2005

Hardanger fiddle

 

 

Sitka Spruce top, Curly Maple back, sides, fingerboard and tailpiece, ebony tuning pegs. Ink decorations based on Iron Age Celtic designs.

Scald (storyteller-musician-poet) Sarah Granskou began building this instrument, and I completed it in 2005.

Based on her first-hand experience in Norway, Sarah describes this instrument as closer to a setesdalfele than a hardingfele.
