Hey there everyone! Can't really imagine ever wanting to go back to playing an ordinary fiddle. This instrument has been an absolute delight to play from the very first moment I picked it up.

I'd really love to hear the music everyone else has been making with their hardanger d'amore's, and maybe learn some tunes other people have written for it. Hopefully this wiki might help make that happen!

Tunings

2019-08-19T08:46:38Z

Caoimhin: /* Tunings used by all players */

Playing in open fifths (CGDAE) leads to some tuning paradoxes, especially when trying to choose precise pitches for the sympathetic strings. Hence, players will often use 'open tunings', so that the relationship between the strings is no longer fifths. This is common practice too in the world of hardanger fiddle playing.

'Standard tuning' for a hardanger fiddle is often considered to be ADAE. Hence, we might think of DADAE as 'standard tuning' for the hardanger d'amore.

Tuning the sympathetic strings is usually done to optimise the resonance for the key of the piece you are playing. The range they span is usually quite compressed, coinciding roughly with the tuning of the bowed A and D strings. With the standard tuning listed above, we might tune the sympathetic strings to BDEF#A for tunes in D major, and to BbDEFA for D minor.

Caoimhin: /* String preferences of all players */

In December 2015, [[Salve Håkedal]] wrote to all hardanger d'amore players with some string advice:

<blockquote>
Strings:
I send the Hd'A away with hardanger fiddle strings, because it's essentially a hardanger fiddle. (The C is Dominant viola, light.) You may use different strings, but I encourage to use thin gauge. It's not built for heavy strings or
even medium gauge strings.

Bridge:
As the G-string in the hardanger fiddle string sets are thinner than both the C-string and the D-string, I give the crown of the bridge a little hump under it. This is so the G-string will be lifted up to the bowhair. If you use
normal violin strings, the G will probably be thicker, so the hump on the bridge curve should be removed for optimal playability.

Sympathetic strings:
If you attempt to fit normal hardanger fiddle sympathetic strings to the Hd'A, you will probably struggle to reach the two pegs closest to the head. I have made Knut Oppheimsbakken at Valdres Folkemuseum make longer sympathetic
strings and will try to keep them in store for you.
But you won't have to change them often.
</blockquote>

[[Dan Trueman]] did extensive string tests when he got the first hardanger d'amore. The strings he uses are, as of August 2019:

<blockquote>
:C: Chorda silver viola 22
:G: Eudoxa G 15.25
:D: Eudoxa D 16.25
:A: Eudoxa A 13.25
:E: Gold Label E thin ball end

== Comments ==
Hey there everyone! Can't really imagine ever wanting to go back to playing an ordinary fiddle. This instrument has been an absolute delight to play from the very first moment I picked it up.

I'd really love to hear the music everyone else has been making with their hardanger d'amore's, and maybe learn some tunes other people have written for it. Hopefully this wiki might help make that happen!

== Comments ==
Hey there everyone! Can't really imagine ever wanting to go back to playing an ordinary fiddle. This instrument has been an absolute delight to play from the very first moment I picked it up.

I'd really love to hear the music everyone else has been making with their hardanger d'amore's, and maybe learn some tunes other people have written for it. Hopefully this wiki might help make that happen!

Laghdú

2019-08-18T21:10:26Z

Caoimhin:

[[File:Laghdu4.jpg|thumb]]
Laghdú is a recording by [[Dan Trueman]] and [[Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh]] released in 2014.

It contains 11 tracks, all of which feature the hardanger d'Amore. Most tracks feature two hardanger d'amore's, while the remainder use one hardanger d'amore along with one hardanger fiddle.

== Meaning ==
As described on the album's website:<ref name=laghdu>[https://www.irishmusic.net/more https://www.irishmusic.net/more]</ref>
<blockquote>
''Laghdú, the title of this album by Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh and Dan Trueman, translates as a lessening, a decrease, a reduction.''

''The music they have written stretches and abstracts the DNA of Norwegian and Irish fiddling; the result is something new, sparse and stunning. It ranges from the near-silent to the nigh-on orchestral, at times exploding joyously from their two beautiful hybrid 10-string fiddles, at times barely there, holding time still.''
</blockquote>

== Recording ==
The album was recorded at the Taplin Auditorium in Princeton University by Andrés Villalta.

== Design ==
The album package was designed by Rossi Mac Auley of Distinctive Repetition, a graphic design company in Dublin, Ireland. The lines on the package represent the 20 strings of the two hardanger d'amore fiddle, with 10 going in one direction, 10 going in another direction. There are also a further twenty 'strings' embossed into the paper.

Hardanger d'Amore

2019-08-17T00:18:54Z

Caoimhin:

The hardanger d'amore is a 10-string bowed instrument made by [[Salve Håkedal]].

The hardanger d'amore was first commissioned by [[Dan Trueman]], who had a vision for a [[hardanger]]-like instrument with an extra low string, in the [[Setesdal]] style, designed to be played at A440, as opposed to the higher pitch [[hardanger]] fiddles are usually tuned to.

Five of the ten strings are bowed, while the remaining five strings function as resonant sympathetic strings. The hardanger d'amore has also been known as a "5+5" fiddle or a "5x5".

From Salve's website (as of August 2019):
<blockquote>
Dan Trueman saw a 5-string Setesdalsfele I made for Vidar Lande. That fiddle had the shape of a normal Setesdalsfele, except that the body was broader. Dan wanted me to make something similar, but with a fatter sound. And it had to be suitable for playing comfortably along with violins..

The result was this fiddle. The body is broader and longer than a 4-string Setesdalsfele, and the string length is like a violin. It can be tuned in A, with normal Hardanger fiddle strings. Or thin violin strings may be used.

Caoimhin:

In December 2015, [[Salve Håkedal]] wrote to all hardanger d'amore players with some string advice:

<blockquote>
Strings:
I send the Hd'A away with hardanger fiddle strings, because it's essentially a hardanger fiddle. (The C is Dominant viola, light.) You may use different strings, but I encourage to use thin gauge. It's not built for heavy strings or
even medium gauge strings.

Bridge:
As the G-string in the hardanger fiddle string sets are thinner than both the C-string and the D-string, I give the crown of the bridge a little hump under it. This is so the G-string will be lifted up to the bowhair. If you use
normal violin strings, the G will probably be thicker, so the hump on the bridge curve should be removed for optimal playability.

Sympathetic strings:
If you attempt to fit normal hardanger fiddle sympathetic strings to the Hd'A, you will probably struggle to reach the two pegs closest to the head. I have made Knut Oppheimsbakken at Valdres Folkemuseum make longer sympathetic
strings and will try to keep them in store for you.
But you won't have to change them often.
</blockquote>

[[Dan Trueman]] did extensive string tests when he got the first hardanger d'amore. The strings he uses are, as of August 2019:

<blockquote>
C: Chorda silver viola 22

G: Eudoxa G 15.25

D: Eudoxa D 16.25

A: Eudoxa A 13.25

E: Gold Label E thin ball end
