Very beautiful playing. This is a traditional tune from the region of Voss and the fiddler would tune the fiddle to the bridle bells so that they ring a major triad. The hardanger fiddle is actually tuned A E A C# for this tune. There are also a score of versions of this tune - same general melody but with variation,
oeddi666 The instrument is a traditional Norewegian instrument called a Hardingfele or Hardanger Fiddle. This variant she is playing has eight strings but some have nine strings.
