Heidruns hardingfele - Felefeber av Annbjørg Lien 

Just been listening to the tune you mensioned. Very beatiful :-)

This is a Olav G Helland fiddle. It was my fathers uncle who owned this, he was a good fiddler. But he sadly died - Jakob - Jakob Østernes was his name. So this fiddle was passed on to my fathers aunt in Voss. It was stored for a long time in its case without being used. And we were very interested in buying this fiddle but she wouldn't sell. But when I started appearing in newspapers and on tv, I were finally allowed to buy it. My fathers aunt needed a new kitchen and she wanted 30 000 NOK for this in the late eighties, which I paid. It was paid in full by various gigs, playing for dances every other weekend, maybe every weekend, then I was able to buy this. And I found a bow as well, a "Dølling" bow from Sigbjørn Bernhoft Osa, I bought this from Knut Hamre, for 12 000 NOK - i think. 12 000? Yes. So this isn't anything to sneeze at. And you got the entire sum for playing? Yep, didn't take out a loan on it. It's pricy to play Harding fiddle. Yeah it's costly.

@@norboost certainly not cheap, but no more than a decent violin or higher end guitars. Beautiful sound though. Amazing tone. ❤️❤️❤️

@@norboost Takk Jim, for en utmerket oversettelse. Du fikk tilogmed med min lille bemerkelse mot slutt: "Det koster å spella hardingfele". Herlig! ;-)

Absolutely agree :-)
